\subsection{return}
\label{labreturn}
\noindent Name: \textbf{return}\\
\phantom{aaa}indicates an expression to be returned in a procedure\\[0.2cm]
\noindent Usage:
\begin{center}
\textbf{return} \emph{expression} : \textsf{void}\\
\end{center}
Parameters:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{expression} represents the expression to be returned
\end{itemize}
\noindent Description: \begin{itemize}
\item The keyword \textbf{return} allows for returning the (evaluated) expression
\emph{expression} at the end of a begin-end-block ({}-block) used as a
\sollya procedure body. See \textbf{proc} for further details concerning
\sollya procedure definitions.
Statements for returning expressions using \textbf{return} are only possible
at the end of a begin-end-block used as a \sollya procedure
body. Only one \textbf{return} statement can be given per begin-end-block.
\item If at the end of a procedure definition using \textbf{proc} no \textbf{return}
statement is given, a \textbf{return} \textbf{void} statement is implicitly
added. Procedures, i.e. procedure objects, when printed out in \sollya
defined with an implicit \textbf{return} \textbf{void} statement are displayed with
this statement explicitly given.
\end{itemize}
\noindent Example 1:
\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{15cm}\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single]
> succ = proc(n) { var res; res := n + 1; return res; };
> succ(5);
6
> succ;
proc(n)
{
var res;
res := (n) + (1);
return res;
}
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}\end{center}
\noindent Example 2:
\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{15cm}\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single]
> hey = proc(s) { print("Hello",s); };
> hey("world");
Hello world
> hey;
proc(s)
{
print("Hello", s);
return void;
}
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}\end{center}
