ok, here's a quick, simple funtion that is just designed to make x# equal to one.



...But, here's the thing. My screen always returns a zero as a value for x#. Could this be a bug, because I'm stumped. Even better, could someone send me a SHORT code with a simple function in it and tell me what it does on your computer so i can see if it works on mine?

When you use variables in functions they are local to only the functions meaning x# equals 1 in the function but not in the entire program. You would have to either global x# by doing something like global x# or use an array which are always global.

Also the # means float and you don't need it if your not going to use floats and only integers.

Hope that explains things
