The end statement indicates both the end of a series of statements executed conditionally from a then or else condition or the physical end of the program.
Syntax
end |
Description
The end statement is used in two ways:
Physical program end (optional):
.......statements....... .....body of program.... .......statements....... end |
The trailing end statement is not required on source code, but is helpful for program readability. Any statements after the end statement (in this case) are not compiled.
Multiline then/else statements must have terminating end statements:
if logical.exp then statement . end |
Example(s)
This example reprompts for ans if the previous ans is n.
10 * input ans if ans=’n’ then print ’Please retype ’: goto 10 end |
If the md file does not exist, a warning message is printed and program execution stops. Notice that stop is the FlashBASIC or BASIC run-time directive that indicates the termination of run time. The end statement indicates the end of the multiple line then statement. Without the stop, program execution continues with the next statement after the end statement.
open ’md’ to md else print ’Cannot open file’ stop end crt ’File opened’ |
