You were correct.

The "should it be stock" part of your post isn't necessarily correct. You should only declare a variable or function as stock if you are not 100% sure that the function/variable will be used somewhere in your code. If an item declared as stock isn't used in code then it does not get compiled into the binary (.amxx). This is why include files contain stocks since a person may use only one function in an include file containing hundreds of functions. It would be wasteful to compile a lot of code that is never used.

Declaring like this or as public would be more proper.

PHP Code:

bool: num_is_in_array()
{

}

thanks bugsy for the explain !.

I use stock often when I create functions. Why? Because when I debug I need to be able to compile without errors.

[jim_yang]

right, there is no critical standard to tag a function to stock or public. and Bugsy just well explained to others what the difference between them.

I use public only when needed ( when the function/variable is called from somewhere else than the specific plugin ) and stock only in include files ( few exceptions ). I disagree with Fysiks at least in large plugins and rather use pragma unused because this way I can keep a list of the functions. With stock you would probably find couple of three-year-old never used functions in your latest release.
