Its better to use stock, forward/public or just the plain? - R3SpaWn0 - 03.08.2018

This

PHP код:



stock GenerateRegistration() //states the name of the stock

{

    new registration = random(9999); //Generates a number out of 9999

    foreach(Player, i) //Searches every user in the server checking if the vehicle plate is used.

    {

        if(PlayerInfo[i][vReg] == registration || registration < 1000) // Checks if the reg is in use or if its below 1000.

        {

            GenerateRegistration(); //Regenerates a reg if the criteria is not met

            return 1;

        }

     }

     return registration; //returns the reg if the criteria is met

}

is the same like this without stock?

PHP код:



GenerateRegistration() //states the name of the stock

{

    new registration = random(9999); //Generates a number out of 9999

    foreach(Player, i) //Searches every user in the server checking if the vehicle plate is used.

    {

        if(PlayerInfo[i][vReg] == registration || registration < 1000) // Checks if the reg is in use or if its below 1000.

        {

            GenerateRegistration(); //Regenerates a reg if the criteria is not met

            return 1;

        }

     }

     return registration; //returns the reg if the criteria is met

}

or..

PHP код:



forward GenerateRegistration();

public GenerateRegistration() //states the name of the stock

{

    new registration = random(9999); //Generates a number out of 9999

    foreach(Player, i) //Searches every user in the server checking if the vehicle plate is used.

    {

        if(PlayerInfo[i][vReg] == registration || registration < 1000) // Checks if the reg is in use or if its below 1000.

        {

            GenerateRegistration(); //Regenerates a reg if the criteria is not met

            return 1;

        }

     }

     return registration; //returns the reg if the criteria is met

}

??

Fucking learning process..

There's no difference ( there's one ) between stock and plain text but there's a difference between stock ( plain text w.e ) and public/forward

Also, most functions do not need any prefix at all:

MyFunc(a)
{
}

"stock" is really only used in libraries designed for other people to possibly use. If you write a function in your mode, you usually write it explicitly for your mode and thus need it.

There is no "best", just different.

Timer - public.
Library - stock.
Mode - plain.
Certain special cases (not just publics) - forward.

What are those special cases?
