The full quote from the original statement is: |
|||
:: ''This method pre-prends an underscore (underbar) to avoid collision with any REXX variable names''. ''Therefore, there shouldn't be any REXX variable names (in this program) that have a leading underscore (_)''. |
|||
The underscore (_) was chosen to make the REXX code more readable, |
|||
<br>it was not claimed that ''_gold'' wasn't a valid REXX variable name. |
|||
<br>The use of a pre-pended zero makes the elements harder to read/peruse. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC) |
