Functions

I know how to call a finction and pass a parameter to it, but I don;t
understand how to take the resulting output of the function and use it from
the subroutine that called the function

Something like

I have a number
I send the number to a fumction that divides it by 2
I then can refer to the quotient as a variable in my original subroutine.

Hi Arne,

From which country are you, Herfried saw the same as me, "Funktion" while it
is normaly in the program languages Function.

That was the only LOL about it, I think you made consequent typos by typing
it in the message.

(It is not impossible it is in the German language with a K, I do not know
that, in Dutch it is official with C however often written with a K)

:-)

AFAIK, Arne is from Germany, and in German it's "Funktion". I assume
Arne uses C# more than he uses VB.NET, so he doesn't know how to spell
'Function' :-).

Correct.

and in German it's "Funktion". I assume Arne uses C# more than he uses VB.NET,
Correct as well, although I have been a VB-Classic-programmer for years.

so he doesn't know how to spell 'Function' :-).


I only spent too much time in writing a custom wrapper class for the
IActiveDesktop interface and did the post without concentration :-(

I'm sorry for that.

Cheers

Hello:

I want a function to return three variables to the calling procedure:

Private Function CalcTimes(ByVal iAddDays as Integer, ByVal iAddHours as
Integer, ByVal iAddMins as Integer) As Array

Variable values are calculated in the function.

Calling procedure receives the values preferably into variables of the same
name.

Like: Me.CalcTimes(iA ddDays, iAddHours, iAddMins)

Further use is ...(New TimeSpan(iAddDa ys, iAddHours, iAddMins, 0))

Could use ParamArray Arguments?

Is As Array correct or should it be As Integer?
Do I need to declare CalcTimes as an array before it is used, or is it an
array by definition?

This is somewhat confusing to me.
Balena's Prog-Vb ParamArray example begins:
Function Sum(ParamArray ByVal args() As Integer) As Integer
Dim index As Integer
For index = 0 to UBound(args)... .
No mention of index being an array as Dim index As Array

Sum? Is that a keyword being used, or just a poor choice of a symbol
representation?
So far, I'm getting a debug error. I tried a return statement:
Return CalcTimes(iAddD ays, iAddHours, iAddMins)
I'm not even sure about using a return statement here. It immediately
preceeds the End Function statement anyway.
Sorry about being lazy. 5:36AM is near end of the day for me.
Thanks.

A few questions about the following code. How would I "wrap" this in a function, and do I need to? Also, how can I make the code smart enough to realize that when a file has 2 or more bad charcters in it, that the code needs to run until all bad characters are gone? For example, if a file has the name "<bad*mac\file" the program has to run 3 times to get all three bad chars out of the file name. The passes look like this:

Javascript has a very small math function list. However there is no reason that this list can not be extended greatly. Speed is not an issue, unless you nest complicated calculations several levels deep. In that case you need much more ram than a PC has to store functions calculated in loops so that you do not have to recalculate every time you cycle through the nest of loops. Using a HD for storage to extend ram is much too slow for many...

The current Python standard library provides two cryptographic hash functions: MD5 and SHA-1 . The authors of MD5 originally stated: It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest. That conjecture is false, as demonstrated by Wang, Feng, Lai and Yu in 2004 . Just recently, Wang, Yu, and Lin showed a short- cut solution for finding collisions in SHA-1 . Their result

Hi I have created a VB dll file that contains common functions I use across various projects in VB, Access and Excel. Rather than have to code the functions in each I decided to use the dll route. The problem being that I can't call these functions from the query designer in Access. I decided that I would try the route of declaring the functions from the dll file the same way you would for the Windows API. Access then complains that...

Hello all. I program C++ since a lot of time now and I still don't know this simple thing: what's the problem with local functions so they are not part of C++ ? There surely are many people who will find them very helpfull. gcc has them as a non-standard option, but only when compiling C language code, so I'm afraid there might be some obscure reason why local functions are not so easy to be dealt with in C++, which I do not yet know.
