Functions
Functions in Pyr are defined with the func keyword.
Function arguments are explicitly typed, and are separated by commas.
The maximum count of arguments/parameters for function declaring/calling is 255.
func foo(a: int, b: int) -> int:
print(a + b + "\n")
To call a function, simply use the function name and parentheses with the arguments.
foo(1, 2) # prints 3
Functions and variables have different scopes.
So you can have both a variable named foo and a function named foo.
foo = "bar"
func foo():
print(foo + "\n")
foo() # prints "bar"
foo = "baz"
foo() # prints "baz"
Functions can also return a value.
func sum_of_squares(a: int, b: int) -> int:
return a ^ 2 + b ^ 2
print(sum_of_squares(2, 3)) # prints 9
To overload a function, you can define a function with the same name and different arguments.
func foo(a: int) -> string:
return "int"
func foo(a: string) -> string:
return "string"
foo(1) # returns "int"
foo("foo") # returns "string"
