No Gosub in BlitzMax?

Just a very quick question is it true there is no longer gosub in Blitzmax?

A quick yes/no would be great for anyone who knows.

Thanks.

no.

Actually, yes, its true. There is no Gosub in Blitzmax.

Thanks.

A gosub is just like a Function isn't it?

"A gosub is just like a Function isn't it?"

Kinda, may coding style us totally gosub based. It was part of Blitz's attraction to me. Not a big deal, Blitz 3d will be around for a while yet so plenty of time for me to find a replacement language.

What have you been using before Blitz? Just curious.

Nothing, I got back into coding (after a ten year break) just becase Blitz was so old school and easy to use :)

You choose your language based on whether it has gosub or not? o_O

Beaker, yeah :)

I know its kind of strange. But old dogs and habits. Anyhow no big deal, I just use Blitz to play around with and make mini games and B3d will be around for a while so its not like its an impending problem for me.

Thanks everyone for the reponses, its appreciated. I dont want to derail the B3d forum with my OT topic.

Goto Blah

This won't happen

#Blah

Works for me.

1) Not in strict mode.
2) Besides he was asking for gosub.

Anyway, no BlitzMAX does not have a Gosub statement, and yes Functions are functionally equivalent (no pun intended).

Ooh, never noticed that.



Ha ha... Well that's what happens when you post past your bed time ;)

Actually I have a blind spot for Gosubs, since I've never used it in any version of Blitz to date.

I havne't used gosub since 1987. :)

Gosub should be made ilegal. Reminds me of programming basic on the acorn/bbc had to number every f**kin line.

Reminds me of when I used to get 2 program lines with the same number on the Oric-1

10 Print "Hello"
20 goto 10
20 goto 10
30 Rem oops...O.o

For God's sake, learn what a function is. It takes little more effort than a gosub does.

Terabit - I've learned your secret! - GOTOs!

I'm going to go back now and rewrite everything I've ever written, and be as clever as you!

I like the notion of preserving the ideological difference between subroutines and functions - doesn't C only muddle them to keep the keyword count down? [Runs away and hides]
