Busted! I used Pascal 1984-1993
So I guess you are not familiar too with the "Result" variable which
appeared with Delphi 1 in 1995 if I remember correctly.
nextt:= num;
can be written to as :
Result:= num;
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse94.html
I prefer Result because it reduces risks of confusion with recursive call
and you can eventually take the address of Result with @Result (where
@nextt would take the address of the function nextt),
pass it by reference to another function ( e.g. FillChar( Result,
SizeOf(Result), 0); ) ,
it behaves like a normal variable.
