How can I build and call methods with parameters?

Like, I code a method
listTopPlayers(int myVariable)
{
//the method's code where it uses the variable myVariable
}

and then whenever I want to use the tool, I just call it somehow, like listTopPlayers(10);

So that I don't need to write the code again everytime when I need it. Or if I want to change the tool, I don't have to change it everywhere in the code.

Thanks

You mean functions? You declare them in global code using this format.
Global Code

Code: Select all

return_type
function_name (argument list...)
{
    // code
}

So for your function you'd probably set return_type to void.

Code: Select all

void
listTopPlayers (int myVariable)
{
    // code
}

Then call the function whenever.

Thanks, that looks right. How do I call the function?

function_name(argument); ?

Exactly!

Thank you!

Kiitän.

Still one thing, can I overload the function to do different things with different parameters?
I mean different depending if the user puts:
function_name();
function_name(argument);
function_name(argument,anotherArgument);

unfortunately no, the parameters you put in your function declaration always has to be present when you use them

Ok. Well it's good enough anyway.

Cool that this community is still active enough to give answers the same day one asks a question!

well we try! It's all about collective effort, or something
