i know how values can be passed into functions, like



but how do you pull the values out of the function like in c++? or is that even possible? how can the two new values be updated in the rest of the program?

how about :



which, in this case, will return 20.

ENDFUNCTION can only return 1 value, and no type's...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

oh. thanks. so the only way to get more than one value is by using a gosub instead of a function?

No. You can use global variables.

The only way to have global variables in DB are arrays(as far as i know... i haven't used DB for over 6 months).

For example you can use an array with only one index (ex dim health(0))in oreder to have single global variables.

With DB Pro i've you can do

GLOBAL MyVar AS INTEGER

or

GLOBAL MyVar$ AS STRING

Or Even

GLOBAL MyVar AS MyCustomType

And it can be used inside functions. This revelation (Which I found through this forum) saved me a lot go gosubs )
