Subject: Re: [Swift-user] Writing to an output file<BR>
<BR>
For most practical purposes, there are no side-effects in swift. "int x<BR>
= 0" means "For convenience, and for the current lexical scope, x will<BR>
be 0". It's the common (though reversed) "statement, where x = 0" from<BR>
math, except there is no "statement" in your case.<BR>
<BR>
Outside of "initialCondition" it doesn't mean anything. I'm not sure<BR>
what exactly the compiler is complaining about, but what you wrote<BR>
doesn't mean much.<BR>
<BR>
That plus what Mike said in his reply to this message.<BR>
<BR>
May I suggest expressing in simple words what you are trying to achieve?<BR>
>From that, it's easier to both translate to swift and for us to help<BR>
with that.<BR>
