OK, in most programming languages, I could create two global functions with the same name but different passed values, and they would all work fine and independently, because the language checks the types being passed and uses the right one.

An example:

scriptname MyDataType extends form...int function AddAndDivide(int A,int B, int C) globalif C != 0   return ((A+B)/C) as intelse   debug.MessageBox("Attempt to divide by zero in AddAndDivide Integer function")endifendfunctionfloat function AddAndDivide(float A,float B, float C) globalif C != 0.0   return ((A+B)/C)else   debug.MessageBox("Attempt to divide by zero in AddAndDivide float function")endifendfunction

And the program would pick the correct one, returning an integer value if it is passed integers, and a float value if passed float values.

What I'm worried about is accidentally picking the same name as an existing global function in some other script somewhere, and having conflicts.
