Name of variables: an issue

[TempodiBasic]

Variable + Suffix is basically an unique being, non dependent on other definitions.

DIM x AS LONG

x! = 2.2
x$ = "foo"
x%% = 3
x~&& = 1234567890987654
x = 1234

All the above are valid and unique variables.

Hi Steve
yes you're right but please try to copy and paste  this following code into the QB64 IDE

Code: (Select All)

Type XXX
    a As Integer
    b As Long
    S As String * 1
End Type

DefInt X-Z

Dim Shared Xpos As XXX

Dim Xpos(1 To 12)

Dim Xpos&

Dim Xpos as long

and please  tell me what do you think about this behaviour of parser:
DIM Xpos& doesn't trigger a name already used error, but DIM Xpos AS LONG does it!
So I must think that Xpos& and Xpos AS LONG are 2 different LONG variables, isn't it?
Thanks for feedback!
