Function to function referencing in Function Library

[Former Member]

If you have many functions within your function library, is there a way to reference another as to not have redundant code? Or is each function within the library completely separate?

Yes, I know i can simply copy the code out of a specific function and add it into another functions code, but I am hoping for an option that allows for easier, one location, maintenance.

Thanks in advance

Logan,

Yes you can do it. Please check this blog:

That does not answer my question at all...

I know I can make functions and use them in the mapping, but I would like to make a complex function that uses the code of another function within it's own code.

I am not having an issue with using function libraries or importing shared libraries, but within a library, can i use one function as a part of another function

I think you are asking for functions in the way of OOPS concepts to make it reusable and effective.

For this You have to write a Java class having multiple methods and you have to import it into imported archives.

Hi Daniel,

To achieve You want, you need to define each function as static. Then You can cal the function of this way:

import mypackage.myFunctionclass;
public class mycomplexFunctionClass{

private void complexfunction(){

 int a = myFunctionclass.function1();
/*It is not necessary to instance the class, only add the correct reference taking account the correct  
and complete class name(it includes the package)*/
}

}
