Hello,

Similar to how one can declare (return) types in non-strict mode with $, %, or ?, for example, is there similar shorthand for Void?

For background, I want to do this in non-strict mode:

Function DoSomething()

...and have it mean this in strict mode:

Function DoSomething:Void()

I recognize it's actually more like these, which is not intuitive to me.

Function DoSomething%()
Function DoSomething:Int()

I would expect Function DoSomething() to return Void in non-strict mode.

Thank you!

If you do not set a return value type it is considered Int, not Void. That's by language design.

Personally I ALWAYS use strict mode. Says me a lot of headache for missdefined fields and variables.

I would also recommend always working in strict mode it will save you so much time in the long run as well as making your life a lot easier when it comes to debugging.

I guess my question was whether there was similar shorthand for Void.

Not to my knowledge.
