hi, i just want to know some stuff...

1.) Which datatypes I can use in PAWN as parameters?

for example:

Код:

function(int i, float f, bool b, String s, char c, char[256] chrarray)

2.) And where is the difference between:

Код:

function(filename[]) // this

Код:

function(const filename[]) // and this

if i call the function with...

Код:

function("ReadMe");

3.) Does the definition of a function in PAWN need the return-typ? If not, why?

1) none, pawn is typeless
2) const = not modifiable
3) no

ok thx and which datatypes i can use in PAWN as parameters? Or do I have to do it
exclusively with Strings like:

Код:

function(filename[]) // this

:/

I suggest reading some tutorials and looking at existing scripts to get a basic idea of pawn first.
Pawn just uses "cells" as "type". One cell is 4 bytes, and normally its interpreted as signed integer. However there are different "tags" that mark a cell as something special, e.g. as floating point value.

pawn Код:

new Float:floatcell;
// You can also use any custom tags to be used in your functions
// to determine what cells it needs/returns
new CustomTag:customcell;

Float:GetWhatever(Float:x, value) {

}
// defines a function that returns a float-tagged cell,
// while expecting a float and int as parameters

GetWhatever(Float:x, value) {

}
// would also work, though it would then return
// an untagged cell, so an integer, or nothing at all
