hi all, new pascal guy, but not a new programmer.
i'm used to being able to use the "return" reserved word in Java and 'C' to be able to short circuit the execution of a function/method. over and above any philisophical judgments on my programming technique, I see Free Pascal has a reserved word 'exit' that mimics "return" ? Is some analogy to "return" not supported in the official pascal dialect ? is 'exit' the only way to do this, and obviously, not portable to other compilers ? is there another token that i could/should use ? i do know that there is goto/label, but i would prefer not to use that, as that construct has been beat into my head over the years as being very bad. tia, Tony _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
