Re: Very Very Quick Function Question Reply #1 - May 8th, 2008, 5:30am   I did it! I'm still wondering if there is a better way. This seems kind of backwards to me. Quote: int dub; int val = 0; void draw(){ int t = ttime(val); println(t); } int ttime(int b){ String lines[] = loadStrings("list.txt");   dub++;      if(dub>=lines.length-1){   exit();  } int a = int(lines[dub]);    //println(int(lines[count])); b = a; // println("there are " + lines.length + " lines"); //println(a);  return b; }
