Returns the value of a parameter passed to the function.
In old times, this was the only method to access function parameters. The new script style allows naming of parameters which makes declaration and access much more convenient.
private Multiply3:
return(Par() * Par(1) * Par(2));
A function Multiply3, which multiplies its three parameters.
private func Multiply3(v1, v2, v3)
{
return(v1 * v2 * v3);
}
The same function with new style syntax
private func MultiplyX(cnt)
{
var x = 1;
for(var i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
x *= Par(i + 1);
return(x);
}
An example for mixed use of named and indexed parameters: this function can multiply up to 0 numbers. The first parameter is the count of following parameters to be multiplied (e.g. MultiplyX(4, 10, 3, 4, 7) = 10 * 3 * 4 * 7 = 840)
