can user created qbasic functions return a string?

[xra7en]

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. FUNCTION QUAD_NAME (X, Y, Z AS INTEGER)  
2. QUAD_NAME = string_var
3.  

returns a "illegal string-number conversion"

I checked the in IDE help on function command(currently using QB64, but their wiki is down), but no information as to whether it can return a string. currently I am using a global var to assign the quad_name but would prefer to use a function to return the desired var.

thanks for helping

Rename it QUAD_NAME$

oops got it

Changing both the function var and the return far with a "$" did the trick



thanks again!
