Hi from Beautiful Brittany (where it is raining, and there is a cool breeze, while the rest of France is in the high 30’s :>))
In the same vein, I declare all my variables “global" in two ways ; the first which will remain when testing is finished (i.e.. passing info outside the script); the others which will be commented out after testing. If I return to this stack at a later date to modify it, I remove the comments until I have finished testing again. Whenever I “invent” a variable, I always declare it global, either permanent or temporary, and so I cannot end up have unused variables. Declaring all variables as global, especially when I have some math in my scripts, running step by step (debug mode) helps check out my math easily and efficiently. All my variable names begin with “GV" or “LV” which helps me not to make mistakes. Its the stupid mistakes which add to development time. Oh ! I forgot ! I sleep little, and so during the night, I plan out my stack development, even to script layout, Next morning I code, and find that I have done much of the debugging in my head, diring the night. Anybody out there got any strange quirks like mine ? (more than 50 years of programming leaves deep scars …. !!!). -Francis _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
