An introduction; A note on Wiki

[dcromley]

This is my first post -- it is meant to be constructive -- there is so much here; so much history; a bottomless pit.
I haven't got the hang of here vs. discord vs. tapatalk.

I noticed that the Wiki for "SUB" does not have the "static" option.
I hope it is helpful to point that out.

I met a nice guy on PM.
Looking forward to more looking and participating.

Welcome @dcromley

Are you talking about static for the whole sub or all the variables in it?
Was this something in earlier QB?

I know you can have Static variables in a Sub but I don't think that's what you mean.

There's no mention of STATIC for the SUB itself:  https://wiki.qb64.org/wiki/SUB

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. For i = 1 To 5
2.     foo
3. Next
4.  
5. Sub foo Static
6.     x = x + 1
7.     Print x
8. End Sub

Such as the above...

Yes -- Steve's got it.
And what a time to join (Steve's QB64 Bible is a joy!).

Always glad to hear when someone enjoys any of my stuff.  Many thanks!  ;)

So what does static do like that? Make all variables static?

[SMcNeill]

Makes the whole sub static.
