Procedures

Angielyn B. Mesa
Procedures

– A procedure is also called subprogram since it is a small

program for relatively small problem.
– It is enclosed between Sub and End Sub or Function and End
Function statements.
– When creating a procedure, you must exactly know the task
it will perform, if there are data to accept and return, and a
name that should express the task effectively.
Procedures

– A procedure can either be public or private.

– A public procedure is accessible to all procedures in the
module while a private procedure is accessible only to
other procedures in the same module.
– To create a private procedure, the PRIVATE keyword is
used.
Example:
Private Sub secret()
msgbox(“This is a private procedure”)
End Sub

Two types of procedures:

1. Sub procedures
2. Function procedures
Sub Procedures-performs the task but does not return a value. The code is
between Sub and End Sub statements.
Format:
Sub procedure name(parameter list)
declaration and statements
End Sub
Function procedures

Works similar to Sub procedures, except that it returns a

value to the caller. The code is between Function and End
Function.
Format:
Function FunctionName(parameter list) as Return type
