Empty Block Error (Gets In The Way)

JonnyMac

When building methods from the outside in, I often do things things like this:

pub pwm(pin, freq, duty)

  if (freq <= 0)
    ' clear smart pin
  else
    ' configure smart pin

With Spin2, this code throws an error: Block is Empty -- which does not happen in Spin1. This gets in the way of incremental development. Can we go back to what Spin1 does with this code?

Okay. I will change it back to the way it was.

In python you must include something in each if/elif/else but there is pass which is the equivalent of nothing, just to satisfy the compiler/interpreter that is really what you want.

i := i sometimes does the job too. Or: p45 := p45. Only does the job when defined. "I" is defined mostly, while p46 may be defined not yet ;-) . CoVid_19 := CoVid_19 may do the job too, as being omnipresent ;-)
