how do I increment an integer variable I passed into a function in Scala?

Question

I declared a variable outside the function like this:

var s: Int = 0

passed it such as this:

def function(s: Int):         


        

Answer 1

I have also just started using Scala this was my work around.

var s: Int = 0

---

def function(s: Int): Boolean={

   var newS = s
   newS = newS + 1 
   s = newS
   return true

}

From What i read you are not passing the same "s" into your function as is in the rest of the code. I am sure there is a even better way but this is working for me.
