What is the difference between ..() and .=..()
Jul 7 2003, 10:13 am
..() calls the parent procedure. . = ..() sets the proc to return the same value that the parent procedure returns.

I always remembered .=..() to be 'do this, then do the normal bit' guess thats wrong. I'm glad I never used it then

Well, sort of Maz; technically there can sometimes be a difference between "the parent proc" and "the normal bit" (say if you've overridden something multiple times), but close enough. It just happens to set the return value as well. =)
