And the two bottom statements can't be placed after the second IF because it has to run anyways and it won't if the code jumps to 'Else'. I didn't quite get this, I think that the following two pieces of code are equivalent: Program A If P Then print "1"; If Q Then print "2"; El...

You confused the hell out of me for a little while! I never heard someone call a complex number a vector before. I thought maybe you were using complex number valued vectors or something!

a handful of people daily and shamelessly pimp their boring projects If only this were the truth! The open blog-format idea, which I was, and still am, a big fan of, was tried in the form of The FreeBASIC Report , and failed precisely because noone was shamelessly pimping their boring projects. Now...

Nobody remember this? I remember it fondly, angros47 :), from back in the days when I was (even more of) an bright, but still strangely productive. It's cool to see work in the FB interpreter area again, which, since those happy days of adding poorly written code to anrgos47's cool interpreter, has...

Very cool use of the preprocessor Thanks :) why? Oh, there's a reason.... but I'm afraid I'd have to kill you if I told you! [it's] part of a bigger, top-secret , project Muhahaha... Anyway, if anyone has the time I'd like some comments on the code style that would be cool, despite being proprocess...

Kris, I can't believe a hardcore Fb'er like you doesn't have ext installed! imho it's about time FB shipped with it!

Hi, as part of a bigger, top-secret, project, I needed to make a tree in the preprocessor which has children added to it in a BASIC-like way. This is the child of that need. Warning: you may go insane if you read this code :) Thanks to Mysoft for showing me a cool trick for making "variables&qu...

Enjoyable read, well written. You still have some "site"s in the paragraph begining "We can now write a crude flowchart of a semi-smart bot.". Find+replace? I agree with the commenter who said that you could conclude your introduction a bit more clearly, not necessarily with your...

If you're interested a link to the todo is http://fbc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/f ... iew=markup

(thanks to Imortis who I stole this link off having been unable to find it in SVN brose myself)

do you have fbext installed?

You can get a stack in the PP by combining Mysoft's method with some stuff from fb extended library: #include "ext/preprocessor/seq.bi" #define mystack (EMPTY) #macro stackpush(_stack,_value) #undef mystack #define mystack fbextPP_SeqPushBack(_stack,_value) #endmacro #macro stackpop(_stack...

Many happy RETURNs ;)

If I understand what CALL did, I think you just do
as if your SUB was a command.

Successor would be my new name of choice.

Maybe the solution is to make a tutorial in the community tutorials section with all the information in, then write a sparse page for naked functions as if for people who know what they're doing, but link to the tut. in the 'see also'?
