A rather simple question, but I can't find anything to make amends of the error in:

newSynapse=new Exp2Syn(0)

in the following function definition.

Code: Select all

func makeSynapse() { local newSynapse
    newSynapse=new Exp2Syn(0)
    newSynapse.tau1=0.05
    newSynapse.tau2=0.1
    newSynapse.e=-30
    return newSynapse
}

How should I create a new local object in this function?

And another question...

Is it possible to pass as an argument to a function or procedure a 2-D array? I have experimented but it seems that it needs something special, if it can be done.

Thanks in advance

The keyword to use for this is "localobj", rather than "local". It is documented in the
Programmer's Reference--look in the alphabetical index (simply called "index" on this
page http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/stati ... tents.html), right below the keyword
"local". An example of usage based on your particular instance is

Code: Select all

func makeSynapse() { localobj newSynapse
