Talk:Call a function

Duplication?

I'm fairly certain that this is duplicative of a number of tasks or parts of other taks. If the distinction is just to show calling and not the mechanism, I suggest the requirement include referencing the other tasks or omits as appropriate. --Dgamey 03:26, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Some languages have different mechanisms for functions and subroutines, and the Function definition task did not consider calling a function. This task provides a centralized comparative reference for all of the calling mechanisms. I know other tasks may utilized mechanisms that are used in other tasks, but this does not necessarily help with comparison of sub methods, because different approaches to a solution may have been used, so the sub methods are not present in the solution, even though they are supported by the language. To find out how to call a function, we really need a task that demonstrates this. Markhobley 14:23, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
