end example
end if
end example

Well yes it is but not like that, First off if you wnat to get into procedue you need to use forward and body.

code:

Ex.
forward procedure NaN
...
...
...
body procedure NaN
...
...
...
end NaN

All that does is so you can always call a procedure at anytime no more having to have them in order (teachers don't teacher this even though it is easy to learn)

Anyways back to your problem

This is what you did...
code:

procedure example
if value>20 then
end example
end if
end example


This is what it should look like

code:

forward procedure exmaple
...
...
...
body procedure example
if value > 20 then
(CALL ANOTHER PROCEDURE HERE)
end if
end example


Do you undersatnd that???

just use a return statement

code:

procedure example
if value>20 then
   return
end if
end example

That also works I was asuming that he was going to have it perform an action. Also that is not a very good way! It works really well in other programing languages becasue that is there base, but for turing you stick yourself in endless procedures, It is the best way for noobs.

I personally find return not useful, but not yet useless, I find it kinda rude to just stop the program right in the middle.
lol
but return does do something, well, not that much, but does something...

Return is a part of turing that is a wanabe code, it really shoudln't be there but because Tom is trying to turn it into a better more advanced language slowly.
