Procedures and functions.

What is a procedure?
A procedure is a seperate section of code which performs one or more specific tasks and is identified by having a name.


Four types:

  • Event 
  • Sub
  • Function
  • Property
Why use procedures?
  1. Avoid repeating code. 
  2. Make the code more readable
  3. Help in debugging a program
  4. Use a procedure in other programs
  5. Pass parameters.
What is a function?

A procedure could be considered as something which is a set of commands which do not return a value.
