An introduction; A note on Wiki
« on: April 15, 2022, 11:34:00 am »
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.  
  4.     x = x + 1
  5.     Print x

Such as the above...

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