One thing I want to point out, a procedure is a function, except it doesn't return anything useful, Ie void which is nothing. |

Bla Saad beat me to what I was just about to say :p Procedures are void functions. The simply execute code when requested without returning any values. |

View the Functions vs. Procedures Fight! part of http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=14665 tutorial on Proc and Fcn I thought it was a legimate argument and may be helpful. |
