Return value

Parameters

Return can pass a value back to the calling function of the type declared in the function name.

No value can be returned when used with Gosub.

Description

When called inside a FUNCTION structure, the RETURN command immediately returns from the function back to the calling code. An optional value may be returned. See FUNCTION for more information. Remember, after a Return, the remaining code of the Function is not executed. See example. It also returns execution from a subroutine called with the Gosub command.

See also: Function, Gosub, Goto.

Example

; RETURN example

; Set result to the return value of the function 'testme'
result=testme(Rnd(0,10));

; The program effectively ends here.

; The actual function
Function testme(test);

; If the random number passed = 0
If test=0 Then
Print "Value was 0"
Return False ; The Function ends immediately
Else
Print "The value was greater than 0"
Return True ; The Function ends immediately
End If
Print "This line never gets printed!"
End Function
