call function inside function

[ulrik]

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

[David 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 :)

@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.

[David Healey]

@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 :)

[David Healey]

@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?

[Christoph Hart]

Nope, I'll do it, I have to add the metadata and stuff anyways. It's a pretty quick thing...

[Christoph Hart]

Alright here we go:

https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-in-hise/hise-script-coding-standards.html

I noticed that in some examples it uses 2 spaces instead of a tab (=4 spaces) now. Should be an easy fix though :)

@Christoph-Hart Thank you!
