what does "...statement is unreachable" mean?
« on: Jul 20th, 2004, 9:11pm »

I just got an error I don't think I've seen before.  
Code:
Semantic Error: This statement is unreachable.

What does that mean?
 
thanks

wait, I figured it out.  
i was trying to do a println() after a return statement. I assume the error means you can't try to execute statements after a return. makes sense.

It means, what it means )
 
Code:

void setup()
{
return;
int var = 0;
}

 
is unreachable.
 
I'm sorry about that, cause I often use this in flash to switch off a method...

"I often use this in flash to switch off a method"
 
You can always just comment out the whole thing in Java...
Code:
void setup () {
  /*      <-- start of block comment
  int var = 0;
  */      <-- end of block comment
}
