End Block

Home › Miscellaneous Keywords › End (Block)

End (Block)

Indicates the end of a compound statement block.

Syntax

End { Sub | Function | If | While | Select | Type | Enum | Scope | With | Namespace | Extern | Constructor | Destructor | Operator | Property }

Description

Used to indicate the end of the most recent code block.

The type of the block must be included in the command: one of Sub, Function, If, While, Select, Type, Enum, Scope, With, Namespace, Extern, Constructor, Destructor, Operator, or Property.

Ending a Sub, Function, If, While, Select, Scope, Constructor, Destructor, Operator, or Property block also closes the scope for variables defined inside that block. When the scope is closed, variables defined inside the scope are destroyed, calling their destructors as needed.

To end a program, see End (Statement).

Remarks

Differences from QB

• none, except for the End While syntax (equivalent to Wend) specific to FreeBASIC.
