well, guess we should get a ruling on this [Wink] but personally, i think we should be allowed to shorten anything that isn't exposed to the UDF user, so this would be the minimum prototype:

function baseconverter($v,$f,$t)

and probably all $vars should be dimmed because they could possibly affect the user as well.

oh yeah, and maybe going forward, the puzzle should be phrased as:

? baseconverter($v,$f,$t)

instead of

$result = baseconverter($v,$f,$t)

that way, we don't have to keep commenting and deleting lines to get a KiXgolf count.
