This is a very basic question, as I am a beginner. I am using darkbasic pro. I want to break my current program up into functions, but I have no need to pass any arguements or have a return value. Yet everytime I program a function I get an error(example below). Can anyone please help me?

Function call: Create_Deck()

Function body: function Create_Deck

End Function

With or without the braces in the function call or body, I get this same error everytime: "Parameter mismatch in command end" <-----------referring to the function end statement

Take out the space in "End function" It should be endfunction.
Cheers

Don't feel dumb we have all been there.

I originally thought I had to type the fucntion name after the endfuction. for example:

endfunction createdeck()

from what I can remember it would compile without error. What problems it could cause, scares me.

Even now I can't tell you how many times my game logic is off, or compiler errors I've received, by typing:

end if

rather than

endif

I always put

control camera using arrow keys

instead of

control camera using arrowkeys

EVERY time I do that (I write a lot of examples for people and it`s a easy way to look around the scene)

ps : you should put the brackets after the function definition as well , eg:

function create deck()

or you might get weirdness creeping into your code .
