Forward is used when you create a new function.
You can use it if you want to create one like "SaveStats", so you should use:

pawn Код:

forward SaveStats(playerid);
public SaveStats(playerid)
{
     // Stuff here...
     return 1;
}

On the other hand, stocks don't need forwards, so you can just use:

pawn Код:

stock SaveStats(playerid)
{
     // Some other stuff...
     return 1; // Not necessary...
}

You can also use stock if you want to return some variable/string, cause forward and public won't allow you to do that:

pawn Код:

stock CreateString(playerid)
{
     new string[256];
     format(string, sizeof(string), "My ID is %d", playerid);
     return string;
}
