option explicit

[SMcNeill]

How many of you guys use this?

Why do you use it if you do?

Your's is an error that screams at you nice and loud.

Code: (Select All)

DIM ThisIsMyVariable0123 as Long

ThisIsMyVariableO123 = 123
PRINT ThisIsMyVariable0123

Now WTF is wrong with this code?  It runs!  It compiles!  It frigging glitches out!!

GAHHHHHHH!!!

QB64 IS BROKEN!!!

GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

It's two AM!  I'm tired!  My eyes are hurting!  There's nothing frigging wrong with my code!  It has to be the stupid devs and the stupid language itself that is wrong!  I've looked over all 80,000 lines of my code and there's no damn compiler error in there anywhere!!

Let me post this on the forums and see what those dumn devs have to say for themselves!  Show me what's wrong with it, if you can, you noobs!!!

GAAHHHHHHHH!!

"Add OPTION _EXPLICIT to the top of your code.   You mistyped a variable name.  The code is right; your naming isn't."
