ASP Procedures

Procedures in ASP allow you to group code into reusable blocks, improving code organization and maintainability. ASP supports both Sub Procedures (without returning a value) and Function Procedures (which return a value).

Key Topics

Sub Procedures

Example

<%
    Sub DisplayMessage()
        Response.Write("Hello, this is a Sub Procedure!")
    End Sub

    Call DisplayMessage()
%>

Explanation: Sub Procedures execute a block of code without returning a value. This example demonstrates calling a procedure to display a message.

Function Procedures

Example

<%
    Function AddNumbers(a, b)
        AddNumbers = a + b
    End Function

    Dim result
    result = AddNumbers(5, 10)
    Response.Write("The result is: " & result)
%>

Explanation: Function Procedures execute a block of code and return a value. This example shows a function that calculates and returns the sum of two numbers.

Key Takeaways

  • Use Sub Procedures for code blocks that do not return a value.
  • Function Procedures allow you to encapsulate logic and return results.
  • Procedures improve code reusability and reduce redundancy.
