Delphi initial value as a function result

Question

is it possible to declare a string var and give it the result of a function as initial value like this or similar :

var
 s : string = myfunction();

Thanks

No, Delphi language (or Object Pascal, whatever it is called at the moment) doesn't support that.

No, but you could do that from the initialization section of the unit.

EDIT:

var
  s : string;

...

initialization

  s := myfunction();

...

No, you have to declare an assign the variable separately:

var
  s : string;
begin
  s := myfunction(); 
  ...
end;
