Languages Focus: Custom Routines

For non-OOP languages, a custom routine is a function, procedure, or subroutine and for pure OOP languages, a custom routine is a class method. Hybrid languages (both non-OOP and OOP) combine both.

method sayHello(var pName String)
 msgInfo("", "Hello " + pName)
endMethod
 

method add(p1 Number, p2 Number) Number
 Return p1 + p2
endMethod

The following code from a button pushButton event uses the two custom methods above:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
 var
    MyName String
 endVar

 MyName = "Mike"
 sayHello(MyName)

 msgInfo("", "2+2=" + string(add(2,2)))
endMethod
