Not sure if I understand what you want, but your $var is not global. Its a local variable inside main().
You do not assing a value to the global scope variable $var. Only main() assigns a value to a variable called $var but only in main()'s scope. And only main()'s echo $var; actually prints the value.
Both calls to sub() do not produce output. Try it with.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
