Okay, I'll explain about functions, return values, etc.
Let's take an example function that adds two numbers. This would be
like you meeting some guy, and saying, From time to time I may call on you.
When I do, I'll give you two numbers. I want you to add them together, and
then give me
Good analogy Jason.
Best Regards,
Hawyden

Hi,
I don't know where you got that idea. No, I didn't say that. My point
to Dark was that you can't call a function that hasn't been defined in
your script somewhere.
If you recall Dark said he didn't understand why he was writing an
add_numbers(() function when in the body of main he had already
Hi Dark,
I think the concept you are missing here is called scope. Variables
can be declared in the local scope or the global scope. There are
important differences and uses of each of these types of variables.
Global variables are generally declared at the top of your
program/script and are
Hi,
Actually, return statements are alloud in functions that return void.
The only different is you don't return an actual value. The way you do
this is like this.
void main ()
{
return;
}
Since I didn't pass a value or variable to the return statement it
defaults to void.About the only time
Hi Dark,
Smile. Welcome to the wonderful world of resource management. Don't
feel too bad as this is an issue that comes up all the time with new
programmers, because they often think as you do that a number is just
a number and don't understand the difference between int, float, long,
short,

I've never understood that either, probably why I've always gotten such
poor grades in math.

Hi Thom,
So you're saying, then, that main has to be at the bottom of the program?

I'm going to try to answer your questions:
1. Void fucntions are functions that don't return anythin gI.e: No
return statements allowed.
2. 3+5 in between quotes is going to be printed as such.
Example:
if you say alert(3+5=8); it's going to print exactly that. if you
said something like.

I'm more than mildly confused about all that Dark. That could be where I'm
having trouble with my current project. All I can say is I'm glad I never
went in expecting this to be completely easy, otherwise I'd have been in for
a nasty shock. I still have every intention of buying the Light and

My friend with the msc in computer science said his favourite book on games
programming had a first chapter entitled games programming is hard! and a
scond chapter ientitled games programming is bloody hard! ;D.
I am finding slowly things
Number/variable types relate to resource efficiency etc.
As in why store a number that'll never go higher than 32768 - limit for
something like an Int16/short - in a variable of a much larger type, like
Int64?
Same principle as in why would you store a piece of paper in a full on
rucksack
