I have attempted to pass a function as a parameter in the REBOL programming language, but I haven't figured out the correct syntax yet:
doSomething: func [a b] [
a b
a b
]
doSomething print "hello" {This should pass print as the first argument and "hello" as the second argument.}
This produces an error, since the print
function is being called instead of being passed:
hello
*** ERROR
** Script error: doSomething does not allow unset! for its a argument
** Where: try do either either either -apply-
** Near: try load/all join %/users/try-REBOL/data/ system/script/args...
Is it possible to pass the print
function as a parameter instead of calling the print
function?
I've found the solution: I only need to add :
before the name of the function that is being passed as a parameter.
Here, the :print
function is being passed as a parameter instead of being invoked with "hello" as its argument:
doSomething: func [a b] [
a b
a b
]
doSomething :print "hello" {This should pass print as the first argument and "hello" as the second argument.}
