I couldnt resist wading in here. Regarding Michael's original question the
Mint% routine should answer.Try this:
100 :
110 a = 330.7: b = 440.7
120 PRINT #0, Min_Int%(a, b), Mint%(a, b)
130 PAUSE -1
140 STOP
150 :
160 DEFine FuNction Min_Int%(x%,i)
170 IF x% < i : RETurn x% : ELSE : RETurn i
180
Thanks for your explanations. This is all specific to SBASIC.
Tobias gives an example with a LOCal name the same as the function name.
Although this is possible, it cannot be recommended. You will not be able
to call the function recursively. And it won't compile with either QLiberator
or
The type of a function is not determined by the function name ending in a $ or
% sign, but rather by what it returns - You can even write a function STRING%
that returns a string or a function a$ that returns an integer value. The name
you give your function is simply a hint to yourselves on
The fact that the function name ends in % doesn't seem to make it an integer
function (although the QL user guide says that "the type of data returned by
the function is indicated by the type appended to the function identifier")
any more than parameter names have no type until they are set,
Hi all,
I've no idea whether this has been mentioned before, but consider this … 100
