Exit Statements
The exit
flow control statement will terminate the execution of the current method and directly exit back to the code that called it.
If the current method has a result type, then exit
can optionally provide a return value that will be passed back to the caller. If such a value is provided, it will replace whatever value may already be stored in the result
variable. If exit
is invoked without a return value, any value already stored in result
will be returned.
Invoking exit
will break out of any loops and skip executing any further code that is written as part of the current method. exit
will honor any code provided in finally
sections.
Examples
method Test: String;
begin
writeLn('Hello');
result := 'Hello';
exit;
writeLn('This line won''t run');
end;
method Test2: String;
begin
writeLn('Hello');
exit 'Hello';
writeLn('This line won''t run');
end;
method Test3;
begin
writeLn('Hello');
exit;
writeLn('This line won''t run');
end;
