| Just to tell you the minimum definitions:-When you write your programs/applications, you want to break your code up into specific parts. Each part having a specific purpose. So, when you are debugging, you arent debugging 1000 lines of code. -The difference between procedures and functions is that funcions return a value. So you would basically use it like a variable (x = getTotalCost()).I would follow the above link and look at examples.ddaurio |
