I don't get them :\
Anyone have a good example of why -and/or- how they are useful?

| There are no c++ functions. Simple as that.

I don't know how to use functions in C++, but I do know function usage in general.
| Code: |
new function charJump {
(code of your game character jumping comes here)
}
if key.up = true {
function charJump;
} |
A.K.A, you can use large blocks of code with just 1 simple command.

| Quote: | | Functions that a programmer writes will generally require a prototype. Just like a blueprint, the prototype tells the compiler what the function will return, what the function will be called, as well as what arguments the function can be passed. When I say that the function returns a value, I mean that the function can be used in the same manner as a variable would be. For example, a variable can be set equal to a function that returns a value between zero and four. |
Now explain this shite
My brain doesn't grasp what it cannot comprehend. So make it dumb.

prototype:
| Code: | | int fuckingDicks(int, float, double, char); |
function:
| Code: | int fuckingDicks(int x, float shit, double cock, char p) {
return x+69;
} |

Now why would I use this instead of a simpler code?

Say you have to use a certain snippet of code a lot.
Like creating a certain entity.
You'll write that snippet as a function and just call that function instead.
Like so:
| Code: | main_playthrough()
{
CreateEntity("Darp");
CreateEntity("Varp");
}
void CreateEntity( Char[] )
{
// Create it here etc...
} |

Ohhhh
I get it. So if you had some simple code that did one thing, instead of writing it over 9000 times, you just call the function over 9000 times.
It's laziness, right? ( Also efficiency. )

The latter.
Instead of c&p'ing 200 lines of code each time you need the functionality, you simply call that one line prototyped function.

| Any decent documentation would have told you all of this, either you're not paying attention or the doc is shit.
