T, Non functions don't need the parens. You are actually are passing 1 parameter of "2,3" When you do a "put DoStuff_2 (2,3)" LC is looking for a function DoStuff_2 that does not exist. If you do "DoStuff_2 2,3" you will get the expected results. Also if a non function does a "Return somevar" the value of somevar with be in "the result"
Example: On DoStuff3 a,b Return A End DoStuff3 The if you do this in another handler Dostuff3 2,3 Answer the result You will see "2" Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Thomas von Fintel via use-livecode Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2018 4:30 PM To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Cc: Thomas von Fintel Subject: Parameters for functions and commands I am well aware that I shouldn't expect *everything* in Livecode to be intuitive, but this one bugs me: Having a handler like function DoStuff_1 a, b return a end DoStuff_1 When you do "put DoStuff_1 (2,3)" the result is 2. But with on DoStuff_2 a, b put a end DoStuff_2 The result of DoStuff_2 (2, 3) is 2,3. "put a*b" produces an error. This means, parameters are passed differently to command handlers and function handlers. Right? Is that the way it should be and why?
