More structered blocks for Structural or Modular programming

[idStefke]

Dear Support,

I would like to see more structured blocks like in other BASIC's

' In the main module:
Procedure Main()
End Procedure

Function <function_name> (parameters....) as <return_type>
End Function

IF ... THEN ...ELSE...END IF Blocks

SELECT...CASE...END SELECT

DO...LOOP [UNTIL | WHILE] and DO [WHILE | UNTIL]...LOOP

- Module files
- Project files

Kind regards

[Andre]

Function <function_name> (parameters....) as <return_type>
End Function

IF ... THEN ...ELSE...END IF Blocks

SELECT...CASE...END SELECT

DO...LOOP [UNTIL | WHILE] and DO [WHILE | UNTIL]...LOOP

Have you ever seen a PureBasic code or the manual

There is:
If ... Else ... ElseIf ... EndIf (there will be no Then )
Select .... Case ... EndSelect
While .... Wend
Repeat ... Until

End Function

You can do this if you really want (procedures are the same as functions):

Declare my_function(parameter)

Procedure Main()
my_function(666)
EndProcedure

Procedure my_function(parameter)
; Do whatever
EndProcedure

Main() ; Call main procedure and run program

- Module files
- Project files

Module files? Well, you can create any other source files and include it in your code with the XIncludeFile or IncludeFile keywords.

Project files? It might be worthwhile, but PureBasic sources are not a combination of many different file types at the moment. As I said above, you can split it into files and include them all.
