Pike: variables

NAME: variables - how to declare a variable
SYNTAX: modifier type variable_name_list;
DESCRIPTION: This is how you declare a global variable. Local variables are defined in the same way, but you may not use any modifiers for local variables. The variable_name_list is a comma separated list of the variables to declare as the type 'type'. Note that '*' binds to the variable names, not the type. This means that:

int * i,j;

Declares i as an array of int, but j will be declared as int. To declare both i and j as arrays of int you have to write.

int * i, * j;

or

array(int) i,j;

Modifiers can be zero or more of: static, no_mask and private. Private means that the variable can not be accessed from programs that inherit this program. Static means that it can not be accessed from other objects with the index operator. No_mask means that it can not be redefined in inheriting programs.
