Function
A function in Mama is a
method returning a value. Thus, creating and editing of functions is similar to that of
methods, with the following differences:
- Functions do not consume time, i.e they executed immediately, and return the final value upon the end of the function
- Consequently, functions do not contain simultaneous instructions such as בצע_במקביל.
- Likewise, inside a function you can call only another function, not a method
Essentially, editing functions means calculating values along the function executed lines - every line not being a
control instruction will produce a result that would be used in the following lines. The last line must be the
החזר instruction, in which the calculated value is returned to the caller.
