I would have proposed to implement it also for procedures, but probably it would be confusing to see:
directly in procedures… that's not the case with macros; they CAN be a little cryptic (# stuff etc.)
PS: in any case, THANKS Fre… OoOPS!
Code: Select all
DoStuff(,,,2,,4,,"Pizza",,1)Code: Select all
DoStuff(,,,2,,4,, Pizza, ,1) ; ', ,' same as ',,'PS: in any case, THANKS Fre… OoOPS!

I would be okay with something like this:
The same for procedures with multiple optional arguments:
But then the arguments also should kept in English in the documentation.
This way of using optional arguments reminds me of Python. It does it in a similar way.
Code: Select all
Macro m(a=0,b=0,c=0)
Debug b
EndMacro
m(b=1) ; b=1Code: Select all
# OpenNetworkConnection(ServerName$, Port [, Flags [, TimeOut [, LokaleIP$ [, LokalerPort]]]])
OpenNetworkConnection("localhost", 80, LocalIP$="192.168.178.25")This way of using optional arguments reminds me of Python. It does it in a similar way.

Yes, being able to name positional arguments like Python does it would be incredibly nice. I would loooove that so much.

Me too. I may be mistaken, but I believe named parameters have been requested here on several occasions.
As long as they are not implemented in PureBasic, we can help ourselves if necessary.
