Subject: Type declarations in a subprogram
Date: 16 Jun 93 15:17:04 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1993Jun16.164301@lglsun.epfl.ch> (raw)
Why would anyone want to declare a type in a subprogram? I have
occaisionally done it in toy programs (a single procedure) but have
never needed it in any "real" code that I have written. I was wondering
if it supports some particular programming paradigm or if it was just
included in the language for toy programs and because no one had a good
reason to exclude it.
If anyone has an example where a local type declaration makes the code
clearer or more elegant I would be particularly interested in seeing it.
