If you forget a 'return', also completely different behaviour. This was one of the issues with the GW-QBASIC code I converted. Returns were on purpose or accidentally missing. With a normal sub or function the compiler catches it. you have a point about error reporting on missing or extra retun's, ...

tested OK on the RPI

I commented out 'end' in victor codes: Result: Aborting due to runtime error 12 ("segmentation violation" signal) in trick.bas::() If you forget a 'return', also completely different behaviour. This was one of the issues with the GW-QBASIC code I converted. Returns were on purpose or acci...

@badidea
let's not turn this thread into a debate, properly used goto and gosub can be used to write clear an understandable code.

@dodicat
using asm is not a clean solution in my opinion, whereas the solution posted by v1ctor works across platforms, have not tested outside MacOS, but if it works there, it should work on other platforms as well, need to test to see if it works on the RPI.

I don't understand the purpose of your question, I made that note about using gosub to jump into another sub or function because for one, it's not supported and because it's just plain dirty, but using gosub within a sub or a function could be useful.

on Aug 03, 2006 v1ctor posted this neat solution https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44311#p44311 why not include the include file and the example in the FB distribution? note, the example given uses subs as example, but it works equally well in functions. tested on MacOS FB-1.06 [note] ...

I found this nice but rather dated library http://koolplot.codecutter.org the license is in the public domain, would anyone that's capable be willing to port this lib to FB? I like the simplicity #include "koolplot.h" int main() { Plotdata x(-3.0, 3.0), y = sin(x) - 0.5*x; plot(x, y); retu...

yes, copy-paste mistake - corrected, thanks for pointing it out.
[note] only division and sqr benefit from reduced precision, my hypothesis is that's because iteration is used.
