How do you use a variable declared in a procedure in another procedure

[1kd7]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Im trying to use a variable declared in a procedure in another procedure.


What is the problem you are having?
Its not recognizing it as a declared variable.
Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

procedure RollDie4 x:=x+125 var Roll4:int:=Rand.Int(1,6) for i:1..5; Die2; delay(50); Die4; delay(50); Die5; delay(50); Die1; delay(50); Die3; delay(50); Die5; delay(50); Die2; delay(50); Die6; delay(50); Die4; delay(50); Die3; end for; if Roll4 = 1 then Die1 elsif Roll4 = 2 then Die2 elsif Roll4 = 3 then Die3 elsif Roll4 = 4 then Die4 elsif Roll4 = 5 then Die5 elsif Roll4 = 6 then Die6 end if end RollDie4 procedure RollDice RollDie RollDie2 RollDie3 RollDie4 if Roll=Roll2 or Roll2=Roll3 or Roll=Roll2 or Roll=Roll4 or Roll2=Roll4 or Roll3=Roll4 then Draw.Text ("DOUBLES!!", 50, 300, font, red) elsif Roll=Roll2 and Roll2=Roll3 or Roll=Roll2 and Roll2=Roll4 or Roll2=Roll3 and Roll3=Roll4 or Roll=Roll3 and Roll=Roll4  then Draw.Text ("Triples!!!", 50, 300, font, red) elsif Roll=Roll2 and Roll2=Roll3 and Roll3=Roll4 then Draw.Text ("Quadruples!!!!", 50, 300, font, red) else end if end RollDice

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

It's a matter of scope, and it's a good thing --in a multi-million lines projects (e.g. web browsers, operating systems, etc.) you wouldn't want your "count" variable to interfere with many other similarly named variables.

In your case, the variable can be declared outside of the procedure first to get a larger scope (bad design, one typically wants to limit the scope of variables), or have the procedure return the value, becoming a function.

I also suspect that your RollDie, RollDie2, RollDie3, and RollDie4 are just copy-pasted code, with some values changed around. You could combine them all into a single function, and use an argument for those minor changes.

code:

function roll_die(num : int) : string    result "rolling die number: " + intstr(num) end roll_die put roll_die(1) put roll_die(2)
