i have a function that initiates the engine for my project, and i want to put everything that deals with initiating the project in it. that includes the variables. its not a big deal if i can't do it, because there really isn't a big need to do it. i just think it will make the code cleaner. is there a way that i could do something like this:
PHP Code:void init()
{
int p = 10;
}
int main()
{
init();
cout << p;
return 0;
}
Consider passing parameters to the function.
well if i pass parameters then i still have to declare the variable in main, which is what i don't want to do.
If the scope of the variables is to be in main, so must the variables. Can you package your variables in a class and handle such things in the constructor? And then access the variables via accessor functions?
i could, but i just wanted to do it for clearity. i don't really think its worth any work when i could leave it how it is. thank you for your time.
Clarity? possibly a namespace.
If you wanted it exactly like your example you could make it a using declaration, although thats somewhat pointless.Code:namespace init
{
int p = 10;
}
int main()
{
cout << init::p;
return 0;
}
