I know how to reference files with #include, but how do I access functions from within the included files? I was thinking it might be similar to java, where it's something like filename.methodname(), but I didn't have time to test in robotics today. I have the following code:

Each file has a method with the same name inside. For example, "RedIsolation.c" has a RedIsolation() method inside.

I believe it's just like calling a function that's already in the program. That's how it is in RobotC for NXT, and I don't see why it would be different for Cortex.

Using #include is pretty much the same as copying and pasting the code in that file into your current file. So you can just call the functions as if they were defined in your current file.

Thanks Miki. I got scolded by my fellow team members for not "object orienting" our code enough, so I'm trying to be on the safe side. I'll probably condense it later, but I would like to keep it as clear for them as possible.

Thanks again!

One function per file is not the same as object orienting. I've never run across this philosophy in my decades of developing commercial applications.

I don't usually do it when I'm using Java, VB, C#, etc, and I'm not really sure why I did it yesterday. We fixed that today, along with noticing some other issues.
Also, it wasn't just one method per file, but only one method had to be accessed externally.

"Data hiding" or "function hiding" in this case makes sense as is one of the elements of good programming practice.

Is it actually possible to do "encapsulation" in ROBOTC?

No, it isn't possible. Only good programmer practice can help you in this regard, the language does not enforce anything.

I was pretty certain that you cannot actually do this, but as Dick Swan said:

I thought that I would ask and confirm since ROBOTC borrows some features from C++. I realize that he most likely meant using programming practice, not syntax.
