Syntax for method/function: 2 inputs/1 Output

[forrestang]

Hello. I am doing something over and over, and require the syntax for a function that will receive two inputs, and report one output.

I am familiar with using functions of the form:

private void myMethod()
{
    stuff......
}

Thanks!

Hello forrestang,

If you are looking to output or Print() some information based on the two inputs that you pass in you may do something like:

private void SUMValue(double var1, double var2)
{
Print("Sum equals: "+(var1+var2));
}

Otherwise, if you want to return 1 value from the two that you passed in you may do something like:

private double SUMValueReturn(double var1, double var2)
{
return (var1+var2);
}

Hello forrestang,
......Otherwise, if you want to return 1 value from the two that you passed in you may do something like:

private double SUMValueReturn(double var1, double var2)
{
return (var1+var2);
}

In your second example, where is that returned value stored? I'd like to call the function and then pass it to a variable for use later.

Hello forrestang,

It is going to be returned wherever you call the function from.

double storedValue = 0;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
storedValue = SUMValueReturn(1, 2);
// storedValue is now equal to 3
}

Thanks JC. That was exactly what I needed!
