[Implemented] Define multiple Dim and NewList in a row.

[Flype]

Just a small request - for consistency.

it is possible to define multiples variables in one line.

so it might be possible to define Dim and NewList in the same way, isn't it ?

Code: Select all

Define Var1.l, Var2.f, Var3.s ; possible

NewList List1.l(), List2.f(), List3.s() ; not possible

Dim Array1.l(1), Array2.f(1), Array3.f(1) ; not possible

[Psychophanta]

Very logical.
I strongly second that!

[Num3]

Ditto

[Psychophanta]

However, it would be confussion when adding Global, Shared, Static or Protected words before NewList or Dim words.

BTW, why doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Global Define a.l

BTW, why doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Global Define a.l

because it makes no sense
"Global" implies a definition of the variable, adding another "Define" is overkill.

Actially, this one allready works:

Code: Select all

Global a, Dim b(5), NewList c.l()

It would make sense to allow the same syntax for Define as well.

BTW...

Code: Select all

Define.s a, b, c

but

Code: Select all

Global.s x, y, z

causes a syntax error!

Ha yes, good. Thank you for the tip freak.



So at the moment we have :

Global, Protected, Static -> allow multiples.
Define, Shared -> do not allow multiples.

Define.s a, b, c

Global.s x, y, z

i think it is normal !

because 'Define.s' can be used alone to 'preset' all futured variables as .s

Code: Select all

Define.s

a = "a" ; this is a string.
b = "b" ; this is a string.

but 'Global' can't be used this way (and Protected, Shared, Static).

[Chrono Syndrome]

Great idea !

Makes sense to have more than one DIM on a line.

Define.s 

a = "a" ; this is a string. 
b = "b" ; this is a string.
