Option _Explicit Keyword(s) of day XXX:

[bplus]

I added OPTION _EXPLICIT yesterday to Lesson2: Introducing Variables in the tutorial:

https://www.qb64tutorial.com/lesson2

I used Steve's Cheetos example too

@Terry (and @bplus) a constant is just an ordinary variable that can be accidentally changed without the Option Explicit.

From your tutorial:

KP "@Terry (and @bplus) a constant is just an ordinary variable that can be accidentally changed without the Option Explicit."

And once again I say that if you declare a variable a Const, you don't need Option _Explicit to tell you you messed up when you try to use it like a REAL variable, see here!:

Code: (Select All)

Const i = 1

for i = 1 to 10

? i

next

   

As you can plainly see the IDE ain't buying your blunder!

@KernelPanic that's it from me for you on this subject.
