Out of curiosity - Tee - 10.06.2012

Out of curiosity I'm asking what the "&" in a function does.
Example:

pawn Code:
gettime(&hour, &minute, &second);


Re: Out of curiosity - Revo - 10.06.2012

To my knowledge (And I'm not certain about it) It indicates its a float.

don't think it does anything?
I think you mean the % function right?

No, I mean "&".

That means that the variable is read and write, where other wise the variable is read only (within the function).


you would use that instead of return if you have multiple returns.
