call function inside function

d.healey

@ulrik This is what namespaces are for.

@d-healey So how do I set it up, do you have a short example where both functions use the same "private" variables?

d.healey

There are no private variables in javascript or HISE script. But in HISE script we can create variables that have scope limited to a namespace.

namespace MyNamespace
{
    reg myVariable = 50;

    inline function aFunction()
    {
        Console.print(myVariable); // Will print 50 to the console
    }
}

Console.print(MyNamespace.myVariable); // Will print 50 to the console
Console.print(myVariable);  // Will trigger undefined parameter error�

Note that the variables must be of type reg or const to limit the scope. var will always be global.

@d-healey Thank you David, I will study :)

Christoph Hart

@d-healey if you create a pull request for the coding standard, I'll merge it into the main doc branch so it becomes part of the HISE doc website.

@Christoph-Hart Done, thanks!

Ah damn, I noticed you were using a Markdown feature that the HISE Markdown parser is not supporting (inline code examples in a bullet list):

-   This list item has a code example:

    ```javascript
    CodeExample
    ```

-   Next Item

This makes it look like this in the HISE doc browser:

With a bit of whitespace correction it looks like this:

However then it might not look as good in the Github preview. Hard choice :)

@Christoph-Hart I think it's more important that it looks good in the HISE docs since that's where I expect most users will find it. Do you want me to clean it up?
