PureBasic Forums - English

I know some (if not all) of the following things have already been discussed here.
After all it's just _my_ personal wishlist so I'll go ahead anyway


1) More flexible structures

2) Multidimensional arrays in structures

3) Short If:Else:EndIf, eg.

4) Being able to write
instead of

5) Unsigned variable types


6) doubles!


I know there are workarounds for all of these suggestions but
workarounds almost always reduce readability at a certain point.

Thanks for your attention.

I stopped waiting for an update of the 3d engine, now I use external dlls for gfx and sound, so my wishlist is almost the same.

Why Procedurereturn?


Please not. Bad codedesign. Something like this is only possible, when the equal comparisation and variable set have diffrent chars.

Why Procedurereturn?

That's just meant to be an example - there're are better uses for this of course. Or did I get you wrong?

Code: Select all

var1=var2=var3=var4=42

True! (Again) I didn't think of that.
Don't panic, I won't request "==" as a comparison operator

changing syntax like that it isn't the best idea...
