module problems

[Nick]

i can create modules fine as i have done in the past but i was wondering if a varible declared in one procedure and be sent to another procedure without redeclaring it

ex:

Turing:

unit module something procedure someProc var someVar:int end someProc procedure anotherProc put someVar end anotherProc end something

would this be possible... I know the way presented is not but perhaps there is another way

Just use an (for lack of a better word) instance variable for your module. This instance variable's scope is only within your module, so it would look something like this:

code:

module Foo     var bar : int     procedure baz (qux : int)         bar := qux     end baz     function fuzz : int         result bar     end fuzz end Foo

NOTE: Also, take a good look at coding conventions in Turing. Check the Turing Waklthrough for wtd's Turing Syle Guidelines.

oh thanks a lot why didn't i think of that seems so obvious now
