when doing functional programming that any code aftera return statement WILL NOT be executed.

Addendum: += is not a post operator like I thought. Just curious, was I the only person that thought that?

What functional programming language are you using that has explicit return statements?

[evox3]

And if you meant procedural, what compiler doesn't spit out unreachable statement problems?

[clayemore]

it isn't unreachable....
boolean function OnKey
{
switch (key)
{
case:

return true
case:
x+=2;
return true
}
a(x)
return false;
}

See the response to arichi as to why it is set up that way.

C++

For some reason the moron that wrote the engine has a convention of using returns instead of breaks...and since the function is a boolean, I thought it easier to just follow that instead of setting a flag and returning the appropriate boolean from inside the switch. I put an update function outside of the switch, and the code never saw it because of the returns inside of the switch.

Oh boy...

Not every language capable of having a function is a 'functional' language. C++ is procedural with OOP features. If you want to learn a great functional language, I can let you borrow the Scheme "MIT" book.

I think you might be missing some code in there... were there unprintables?
