Procedures XP

• A Function procedure, or function, performs


operations, returns a value, accepts input values,
and can be used in expressions (recall that an
expression is a calculation resulting in a single
value)
• A Sub procedure, or subroutine, performs
operations and accepts input values, but does
not return a value and cannot be used in
expressions
