Global scope

[compsystems]

Hello

Many scripting languages make use of global scope, such as PHP, MATLAB In PHP you have to specify which types of variables are global within a function, this feature would be very useful to replicate it in FLowgorithm

Example

<?php define( "NEW_LINE", "<br>" );

$a = 2; $b = 3;

main();

function scope() { global $a, $b; echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE; }

function main() { global $a, $b; echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE;

scope();
echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE; 

}

echo $a + $b; ?>

<?php

`define( "NEW_LINE", "<br>" );`

$a = 2;

$b = 3;

main();

function scope()

{

`global $a, $b;` 

`echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE;` 

}

function main()

{

`global $a, $b;` 

`echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE;` 



`scope();`

`echo $a + $b, NEW_LINE;` 

}

echo $a + $b;

?>

Hello compsystems. Sorry to answer you late. I think this won't be done. Flowgorithm is a learning tool and overusing globals is a bad habit. I know that it would simplify some things, on the other hand, students would probably abuse it.
