Howdy folks
This might be a really stupid question, but ya know, if you don't
ask ...
So, anytime I am calling a function, I have to include everything
that the function needs all the time. My simplistic example is:
#!/usr/bin/rdmd
import std.stdio;
void test(string firstinput, string secondinput)
{
if(secondinput=="world")
printoutput(firstinput, secondinput);
}
void printoutput(string thisIsJustGreeting, string secondinput)
{
writeln(thisIsJustGreeting, " ", secondinput);
}
void main()
{
string greeting = "hello"; // I really don't want to bring
this through every function
string thisthing = "world";
test(greeting, thisthing);
}
For this, I don't really want to keep bringing "greeting" around
with me. Now, I know if I call `printoutput` from somewhere where
that variable hasn't been declared it'll go nuts, but at the
moment my code is ugly because I have to keep carrying variables
around everywhere ...
But when I have a whole heap of things which are quasi-global I
don't want to keep having to include the same things over and
over again, especially functions within functions. For a tedious
example:
Maybe my program design just needs rethinking (I'm not from a CS
background, so I struggle with the easy stuff sometimes), but a
simple/better way of doing this would really help. :)
TIA
