coMMAnD nOt IMplemeNtEd
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. scale! = 64
  2. def fnr! = rnd * scale!
  3.

Yeah, Rob (Galleon) bailed on developing DEF FN, many moons ago. I simply made my own functions to replace those parts of a few of my programs.

think we are well past moons, more like many ages ago.

DEF FN really isn't needed

just as easy to
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. FUNCTION r!(x)
  2.  r!=RND * x
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

I agree with Cobalt. Actually, the only reason I used it in the old days is anything you could do to save memory, shorter variable names and using things like 'DYNAMIC and DEF FN made the difference between some large projects getting finished or not. Now, without those memory restrictions, DEF FN can just be converted to standard function format.
