Functions

Predefined functions are great.
Even better is that you can define your own function.


Before we go deeper, we need to realize that we already have one function, main. The main function is the first function that gets executed when you click Run.


Now let's define a function: greet(name). It will say hello to someone.

Steps:

  • add a new function by clicking + on the left pane
  • click on fun1 block and rename it to greet
  • click + to add a new parameter and type name: String
  • add a new Output and type "Hello " + name
  • click main to go back to main function
  • add a new Call block and type greet("Tom")

Run the program, it should display Hello Tom in the output.
