Quick Function Syntax Question (PB Specific)

[Paul Dwyer]

Quick Question, I hadn't seen this Syntax in VB so I thought I'd check.
Using the Function name or "Function" as the return parameter.

Is this:

Function MyFunct(Param1 as long, Param2 as long) as Long
    ' Do Some Stuff
    Function = 1
End Function

The same as this?

Function MyFunct(Param1 as long, Param2 as long) as Long
    ' Do Some Stuff
    MyFunct = 1
End Function

Never seen "Function = x" before now

Cheers

Paul,

This has been standard "Basic" syntax for a long time. Just
like Peter said, "same thing".

Cheers,
Cecil

Thanks,

Never seen it in VB or C, and when I used qbasic we used gosubs, that's all.

Much the wiser now

It may work the same, but I think MyFunct=returnvalue is more
readable, so I vote (a very semantic) not the same.
