- A
routineis a library-global procedure (AKA function). - A routine with no return type "returns nil".
- When a return type is given,
return some-valueimmediately terminates execution of the routine and yields the specified result in place of the routine call. - For nil-return routines,
returnis optional and will immediately terminate routine execution.
