Closures are easier in VBA. It's called a static variable. No need for child functions. It's just a normal function-scoped variable who's value persists between calls.
I like this kind of games example where we keep refactoring the code as we learn more and more. 16:23 Unless it's intended I think there is no need for " " in lines 62 and 63 (Trying to save some spaces😁) Thanks Dave,
Total preference of spacing. I like to keep the lines separated, but you can go either way you prefer. Thanks Ahmad! I'm glad you like how we keep refactoring the example. 🚀
@@DaveGrayTeachesCode Fair enough, Refactoring gives me a sense of satisfaction that the work has been done but there is room for some improvements (although this is not always the case)
@Google Personal Maybe I missed that that. I don't know why you're interested in my last name, anyway, it's Murey not Murery and it's an Arabic male name and it can mean several things such as: What is nurtured, what is observed, protected, preserved, valued, protected, submissive, watched
How is this useful? It would seem to be similar to a class but only one method is allowed to be used. The function variable is initialized with 3 coins. Is it simply to set initial values, then make changes to the values as the closure function is called? To count something up? or down? Such as the amount of coins.
09:36 I made small changes and I think closure is more like OOP classes but In FP way :D """ def new_amusement_arcade(name='anonymous', coins=0): def play_game(): nonlocal coins coins -= 1 print(f' {name} has {coins} {"coin" if coins == 1 else "coins"} left.' if coins >= 1 else f' {name} is out of coins.') return play_game tommy_play_game = new_amusement_arcade(name="Tommy", coins=3) jenny_play_game = new_amusement_arcade(name="Jenny", coins=5) tommy_play_game() tommy_play_game() jenny_play_game() tommy_play_game() """
Funny you should mention that because formatting strings - specifically f-Strings - is the next lesson in the series. Older methods like format() and %s are also covered.
