I am a programmer a so I will try to answer some of your questions.
1) I think the NQC distribution has some examples. D. Baum's book : The
Definitive Guide to LEGO Mindstorms" is excellent and has very useful examples.
I may have not gotten the title exactly right
2) Functions are expanded inline (a copy of the code for each instance) and
subroutines are not. Functions can take arguments and subroutines can't. I
don't have my NQC manual so I may have left something out.
3) += is a short hand. for example:
a += 1;
is equavalent to:
a = a + 1
These operator/assignemnts are used when you want to do something to a variable
and put the result back in it.
4) The # things are pre-processor directives. Prior to compilation, the source
is run through a pre-process that does text substitution. This is described in
any C book and in the NQC programmer's guide.
