Is it possible to have a custom function defined in newLisp that accepts a variable number of arguments?
For example, could I have the "doThis" function accept an integer named "number1" and a string named "text" or just two integers, "number1" and "number2"? How would I do this? Can you do it by just specifying all parameters in the define statement for the function, and then if the values are not used they are passed as nil?
Thanks,

You are able to, like Lutz said, define a function without arguments. This, I suppose, would be usefull if you were dynamically creating functions where the number of arguments could be any amount. By using (args), you could get everything.
Code: Select all
newLISP v.8.6.0 on OSX, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.
> (define (myfunc) (println (args)))
(lambda () (println (args)))
> (myfunc "one" "two" "three")
("one" "two" "three")
("one" "two" "three")
