It is part of Pawns core per the pawn language guide so it is suitable for a pawn tutorial. If you choose to omit it just to illustrate if-statements then that's fine too.

Edit: Better off not using clamp and just using the if's so beginners can see what is going on.

A function in your plugin can be called from inside your plugin or from an external source. As an example, plugin_init , plugin_precache ... are called from amxmodx when your plugin starts. Since they are called not from your plugin but from an external source they need to be public. The same happens for functions associated to console/server commands, for tasks, for menu handlers, and for functions in another plugins.

For the part about characters, you should also let them know that you don't have to use the ascii values.

Instead of this:

new szWord[5]
szWord[0] = 119 //w
szWord[1] = 111 //o
szWord[2] = 114 //r
szWord[3] = 100 //d
szWord[4] = 0   //null //This is not needed since the default value of each element is 0. 

You can do this:

new szWord[5]
szWord[0] = 'w' //w
szWord[1] = 'o' //o
szWord[2] = 'r' //r
szWord[3] = 'd' //d
szWord[4] = 0   //null //This is not needed since the default value of each element is 0.

Good idea exolent. I was trying to get the understanding of how the array holds a character so I was sticking with the numbers. It is definitely a good idea to show character assignment as well.

Well done. More indepth than the Wiki article but still it should be understandable for everyone. Nice
