If you mean delete function while program is running?, if yes then no.

Tell us what you want to do exactly and there probably is some other way to do it.I can`t imagine why you`ll ever need 2 functions with same names and why you need to delete them.I think you misunderstood what the functions are suited best and how you must use them.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am

No, DarkBASIC Pro does not support function overloading as far as I am aware.

Well I don't quite understand what you mean by pages of code but the question I would ask is why? Can't you just create two functions with slightly different names like MyFunction1 and MyFunction2? If not, then you could always pass a boolean parameter to your function and then have an if statement which decides which action the function should take. This might look like:



Hope this helps.

I think one of the ideas with regard to choosing to use a function is that you need to perform a repetitive task. To me, it is better to have many different functions that perform specific tasks than to try to cram many different things within a single function.

So, my advice is to split up your two functions. Doing it this way will aid you in debugging the program and will make for cleaner code, especially if you write a larger program. Lastly, it might help you if you put the game on the shelf for an extended period of time and then decide to pick it up. If your functions all accomplish one main thing, it will be easy to figure out what you were trying to do in the first place.

Good luck.

If you want a correct function to be used, try using selection statements, and divert the program to the correct function to get around the general need for function overloading.
