I don't quite understand this task. First it talks about command line interpreter, and then requires creating a function. Command line interpreters do not create functions, they interpret and execute commands. If you are creating a function into a program, you are using an editor. For example, a traditional Basic interpreter uses a command mode which also acts as line editor. You can enter a direct command, and it is executed when you press enter. But if you precede the command with a line number, it is entered as a line in the program. In that case, you are using the editor. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 21:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |

:Hi PauliKL, Our understandings diverge. although you might create a function in a file, many languages with a CLI allow you to execute statements interactively that can create functions as well as call functions. If this cannot be done in your dialect of Basic then maybe you could explain how much of the task could be done in it? (Together with the name of the dialect of Basic) --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 22:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |
