Refinement Help output

 [1/5] from: ptretter::charter::net at: 20-Aug-2000 22:09


I got the following function which I enhanced from a previous posting with some help from members of this list. How do you get help to display the comments for the refinements. Paul Tretter dec2bin: func[ "Converts Based 10 Integers to Binary" dn [integer!] "Base 10 Integer" /local holder neghold /pad+ zr+ [string!] "Add String to beginning of Output value" /pad- zr- [string!] "Add String to tail of Output value" /rev "Reverses the normal output of the value"][ holder: make string! "" if dn = 0 [holder: "0"] if negative? dn [ dn: absolute dn neghold: 1] while [dn / 2 <> 0][ either dn // 2 > 0 [insert holder 1][insert holder 0] dn: to-integer dn / 2 ] if rev [reverse holder] if pad+ [insert head holder zr+] if pad- [insert tail holder zr-] if neghold = 1 [return join "-" holder] return holder ]

Hi Paul, /local should always be the last refinement. (Because everything from /local to "]" is local, which allows multiple lines of locals to be declared.) Change the order so /local is the last refinement, and it will work as expected. Cheers, Allen K

expected. It's for these reasons that I prefer to use 'function with it's block for locals. Then I automatically avoid this problem. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/

Thanks. That works.

You made all your refinements and their arguments local. You will need to move the "/local..." after the description for "/rev". Brett.
