What Does This Return Do?

[Newbie2]

Hello,

I'm kind of new with AutoIt.

I was wondering what this "Return" do.

Thx

For $myLoop=1 to 100
$var=1
If $var=1 Then
    MsgBox (0,"",$myLoop)
    Return
EndIf
Next

in this case it will have the same effect as Exit.

Return is used in combination with Func...EndFunc

below a portion of the helpfile example:

msgBox(0,"Today is " & today())
Exit

Func today();Return the current date in mm/dd/yyyy form
    return (@MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR)
EndFunc

I am not sure the doc is perfect but it is better to have a look a it and you will find that the return is used inside Function (Func/EndFunc)

so your case you should get an error message because there is no function defined

Good luck in learning

So Return (out of a function) is always similar to EXIT?

nope....

Return in the Main section is the same as Exit.

Return in a Func...EndFunc returns to the code that called it. Exit in a Func...EndFunc would stop the program.
