LOCAL and INPUT: number of variables allowed

[cyrille de brébisson]

Hello,

The limit for any function parameter count is 16. ie, no function can take more than 16 parameters...

LOCAL is a function that takes n pairs of parameters. The first item in each pair is a variable name and the 2nd the variable initialization value (0 by default if not provided).

As a result, LOCAL is limited to 8 (16/2) simultaneous definitions.

INPUT, as a function, is also limited to 16 parameters. BUT since the variables are put in a single list, and since thee list size limit is 10 000, there is no practical limits to the number of variables that INPUT can handle.
