GLBasic forum

Hi everyone,

I have just downloaded GLBasic and just started to run through the tutorials and came across a problem, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

The tutorial has just got to explain variables this is what I tried:
LET A$ = "Hello World"
PRINT A$, 100, 100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END

I get this error no matter what I try with variables:

Quote"HelloWorld.gbas"(5) error : variable is not explicitly defined : a$

Thanks.


LOCAL a$    //<---------- define a$ as a local scope variable (You can also replace this with 'GLOBAL a$' too)
LET A$ = "Hello World"
PRINT A$, 100, 100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END


I think you can switch this off via Project/Options and untick 'Explicit declarations', generally though, I keep it on!

PLS don't use LET anymore!
