can a new function be defined in the middle of livescript?

Can one define a function in the middle of LiveScript or does it have to be at the end of the script?

Answer 1

[Fangjun Jiang]

No.

%%
a=1;

function out=timestwo(in)
out=in*2;
end

b=timestwo(a)

Error: File: Untitled Line: 8 Column: 1

Function definitions in a script must appear at the end of the file.

Move all statements after the "timestwo" function definition to before the first local function

definition.

It is how it’s programmed. It’s like asking why walking forward than walking backward?

Why not? It can improve readability.
