compile-time variable/Parameter
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 7:24 am
Hello guys
Hope you all are fine and healthy.
This is probably a novice question and I hope you don't mind.
What is the difference between a 'parameter' and a 'compile-time variable' ?
I have seen codes starting with compile-time variables, such as:
$set P 130
I don't get what facility it may bring in contrast with defining 'P' as a normal parameter. Specially since using 'P' in the code is a bit harder since it should be referred to as %P%.
Thanks for your consideration
