Visual basic ==>?

Question

How can i declare a variable inside the function, so that i can update it example:
function
{
dim counter as integer
integer++
}
i mean something like this so everytime that i call the function it adds 1 to the integer
(@@$$** i dont want to use a global variable **$$@@)

my bad it should be counter++ i know
but im njot allowed to use any global variable :(

Answer 1

Declare is outside the function and then pass the variable to the function. This way "counter" won't be reset each time the function executes.

Answer 2

Your increment should be

counter++
