Adding optional parameters to a procedure

[Aange10]

Pretty much my qestion is in the title.

I recall reading in the documentation that

Turing:

proc myProcedure (variableOne : int, [variableTwo : string]) end myProcedure

The above syntax would allow variableOne to be mandatory, and variableTwo to be an optional input. However I get warning (not error) messages when running code like this in my program. Is this incorrect?

you want function overloading

code:

proc myProc(foo : int, bar : string)   % do stuff end myProc proc myProc(foo : int)    myProc(foo, "default string") end myProc

Unfortunately, Turing doesn't actually allow either overloading or variable arguments (varargs).

Basically only Turing's original developers get those privileges.
