Function with dynamic number of arguments?

[skyyakal]

Is there a possibility to call a function without giving the number of arguments?

 

for example

DIM func(LaLaLaLa) As Integer

 

and then call for example one time func(4, 7, 3, 8) and the second time

func(1, 3)?

 

Would appreciate the answer.

Yes, if you overload the fuction, meaning that you need to create the let's say three functions with the same name but different signature on each, eg.

 

Private myFunc() as string
   'TODO
End Function

Private myFunc(x as integer) as string
   'TODO
End Function

Private myFunc(x as integer, y as integer) as string
   'TODO
End Function

Private myFunc(x as integer, y as integer, s as string) as string
   'TODO
End Function

You can also set the function to it's maximum arguments and only utilize those necessary depending on its requirements at the time. In fact, one of the arguments could be the determinator to which calculations are used and by which variables.
