Forward

-----------------------------------

I'm trying to use forward for some procedures that i later want to define.
so i believe that's the right command,
but it gives errors and the command explanation on F10 doesn't help either.
Can u guys guide me or link some tutorial
thanks

'forward' is pretty tricky to work around.  It appears to work quite nicely for very simple programmes, but in my experiece when a programme was made that was a little complicated (procedures reciprocally calling each other), things got out of hand and Turing didn't like it.
Unless you have a very, very good reason for having to 'forward' your procedures, just sort them out and code them using Turing's limiting fashion...

Why is forward hard, Delos I don;t get your meaning, using them is sooooooooo... simple and easy.

Like this

forward procedure foo

body procedure foo

end foo

they don't get out of hand unless you try and call like ... let me to a test!

Edit: I couldn't find an problem, I tryed a few situations and I did't find and cofusion problems with it. Also I use it for when I do everything and I have never had a problem. If there is a problem its in his code, post your code let me see it.

I don't recall ever saying anything about its difficulty.  What I did say was that I encountered various levels of instability while using it at one point.  Perhaps I'll try to reconstruct the error...it was a long time ago though.

Anyway, as you said, if we're to help Reza more, they should post at least a snippet of their code.

[in reference to your new Topic 'reasons', which you could ask a Mod to delete for you and.]

Perhaps you could post the specific error that Turing gives you.  Someone might have seen it before.
