Subprograms

jedi-bob · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 10:38 am

how do they work? Can i make an animation a subprogram, so that i don't need the 300+ animation lines in my main program?

PS- i checked the tutorials and there is nothing of that nature in there. Also i need help urgently am not currently in compsci class.

eh, sure... you could do that.

code:

procedure animate
put "animating...
end animate

...
%this is your main program
%you can always call your procedure whenever you need it

animate

when i call my animation can it be a seperate file??

ex: procedure animation.t

Tony · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 11:02 am

eh... no... what you do in your separate file is have it like

code:

%this is file animation.t

procedure animation
put "animate"
end animation

now in your main file you place

code:

include animation.t

at the very top of the program so that the procedure will be included.

Edit: go easy on my spelling, pff

I keep getting an error in my main program saying:
illegal include statement

watch tony's spelling..
*cough* include animation.t *cough*...

jedi-bob · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:15 pm

i checked the spelling, but i get the same error. Would you like to see the code?

sport · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:18 pm

Sure, post the code

jedi-bob · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:37 pm

its pretty long, and i don't know how to get it in the neat box like other people do so i just attached it.

santabruzer · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:41 pm

err.. you forgot the " " ".. the quotes basically.. it should be

code:

include "animation.t"

jedi-bob · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:45 pm

i put them in but when i try run it, the code of animation.t opens and procedure is highlighted and it says, "procedures may only be declared at the program, module, or monitor level"

vinkster · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 6:17 pm

procedures cannot be called from a different file, you can either call it in the animation.t or not use that file and copy and paste that code to the top of your other file..........

santabruzer · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2004 6:21 pm

why don't you make a module on your other file, and export the procedure
