variables and gosubs???

[Darrel Taylor]

That seems to happen alot with us Steve.

I should also note here, that Sayzer's examples will work just fine too.

Just different ways to skin a dog.
(sorry, I'm a cat person)

here we say... every road leads to Roma.

Why? i don't know... but why skin a cat as well

[sayzer]

Since I am still learning,

with the information above, will the "return" go back to FOR loop in the example below ?
I guess it will, but I also do not like to guess.

i   VAR BYTE

main:

    FOR i = 0 TO 4
        BRANCHL i,[subName0, subName1, subName2, subName3, subName4]
    NEXT i

GOTO main


subName0:

RETURN


subName1:

RETURN


subName2:

RETURN


subName3:

RETURN


subName4:

RETURN

mister_e, you are also my teacher as you know!

In your example the return won't work as Branch(l) use Goto. It's just a Select CAse goto.. or kind of

I wonder why Branch(l) don't use gosub so far... easy to modify the macro but...

Did you mean the example in post #9 ?

[mister_e]

Yes indeed... post #9

The various BRANCH?xxx and BRANCHL?xxx macros, mess around BIT?GOTO and L?GOTO

EDIT: also ... TABLE?C

Ahhhhhh!!! what a cleaver way to do it!!! thanks so much Darrel.

I would never have thought about using an array like that

Cheers.

Now i just have to find out if im using the code the right way lol

(p.s based on the code you gave me, how much more code could a 16f628 allow?)

and one more question, im trying to use this code to make a sort of clock.

i'm using the pins LOW to make the circuit, but i dont really want to use HIGH to stop the circuit, is there anway to just turn the pin off, like when the program is run at the start?
Thanks again

DT's code is 58 words; you have about 2048 words in 628.


mister_e, in this case, can I make a conclusion as

"return" in a subroutine referred by a BRANCHL inside a WHILE will take the subroutine back to that WHILE statement.

But, this is not true for a FOR loop.


Am I right?


-------------------------

[mister_e]

Nope... a return will never work with Branch(L) anyway, as Branch(l) use goto.

Branch index,[Label1, Label2,Label3] is something like ...

Select CASE index
    Case 1 : goto Label1
    Case 2 : goto Label2
    Case 3 : goto Label3
    End Select
