C #define Equivalent?

[Steve Elliott2]

Is there a Pure BASIC equivalent of C's pre-processor #define statement?

I know we can do this with variables - but not for other text substitutions?

Code: Select all

eg)

#Sound_Loop = #PB_Sound_Loop

Depends which function of #define you need to use.

You can define constants and enumerations, including string constants:-

or parameterized identifiers using macros:-

oh and you can check for pre-existing stuff (except macros) with the compiler function Defined.

Macro was what I was after - many thanks!
