RETURN
- Description:
-
Return from subroutine.
The return command is used with a matching gosub command, to return program flow back to the main program at the end of the sub procedure. If a return command is used without a matching gosub beforehand, the program flow will crash.
Return is also used to complete an interrupt routine to return program flow back to the main program where it was interrupted. If a return command is not executed, a 'goto main' or similar is used instead, then interrupts cannot be re-enabled and the program will likely not behave as expected.

Call a gosub subroutine
Flash an LED multiple times using a gosub subroutine
- Code Example:
-
main: let b2 = 15 ; set b2 value
gosub flsh ; call sub-procedure
let b2 = 5 ; set b2 value
gosub flsh ; call sub-procedure
end ; stop accidentally falling into sub
flsh: for b0 = 1 to b2 ; define loop for b2 times
high B.1 ; switch on output 1
pause 500 ; wait 0.5 seconds
low B.1 ; switch off output 1
pause 500 ; wait 0.5 seconds
next b0 ; end of loop
return ; return from sub-procedure

Return from an interrupt
This program demonstrates an interrupt event when input C.1 goes high. A LED on output B.1 will flash quickly when the interrupt is entered and slowly when it is not.
- Code Example:
-
setint %00000010, %00000010, C ; Interrupt when pin C.1 goes high
main: toggle B.1 ; Slowly flash LED on B.1
pause 1000
goto main
interrupt:
for b1 = 1 to 10 ; Quickly flash LED on B.1
toggle B.1
pause 100
next
setint %00000010, %00000010, C ; Re-enable interrupt
return ; Continue back in main program
