A little more complex script example.

2 functions, one standard, one recursive.

 

'----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Dim msg   As String

Dim count As Long

Dim N1    As Ext

Dim N2    As Ext

 

'---

' A simple standard function

'---

Function Factorial(InVal As Number) As Ext

DimAs Ext

DimAs Ext

 

r = 1

For i = 2 To InVal

   r = r * i

Next

Function = r

 

End Function

 

'---

' A recursive function

'---

Function RecursiveExample(n As Number, MaxRecurse As Number) As EXT

Dim s As String Value Repeat$(10000, "X")

 

INCR n                                         

If n >= MaxRecurse Then                           

   Function = n                                    

   Exit Function                                  

Else                                            

   Function = RecursiveExample(n, MaxRecurse)     

End If                

 

End Function

 

'---

'---Main Program

'---

N1 = 10 

N2 = Factorial(N1)

 

MsgBox 0, "Factorial of " & N1 & " = " & Format$(N2, "0#")

MsgBox 0, "I've called a recursive function " & RecursiveExample(1, N1) & " times"

 

Dim count2 As Long

For count = 1 To 64

msg = msg & "[" & Format$(2^count) & "]"

If MOD(count,2) = 0 Then

   msg = msg & crlf

Else

   msg = msg + " "

End If        

For count2 = 1 To 100

   count2 = count2

Next

Next

 

MsgBox 0, "From 2^1 to 2 ^ 64:\n" & msg
