How would this work? [Resolved]

[chemicalNova]

Howdy all,

I'm wondering how Visual Basic (and probably, compilers in general) would handle a situation like this.

Say I had this:

Dim theCounter As Long
 
Function DoSomething() As Long
Randomize
Dim theVariable As Long
Do Until theCounter > 12
    theVariable = Rnd() * 200
    DoSomething
    theCounter = theCounter + 1
Loop
End Function

Its kind of hard to explain. If theVariable is set to a random number (in our case, say 100) on our first call, and then DoSomething is called again, another theVariable is declared, and set to a random number. Once this has all finished, would the variables be reset to their original values once the calling has been returned? I don't really know how to explain it. I'll try and draw up a diagram of what I mean. I just want to know before I try anything.

Thanks in advance,
