Procedures Structure

• Procedures encapsulate, i.e. package up, a computation to be used anywhere, anytime

• Parts of a procedure specification …

  • Name -- term used to refer to the computation, e.g. convertC2F
  • Definition -- the program steps to compute the result, e.g. tempInF = 9 * tempInC / 5 + 32
  • Parameters -- the names of the input data and output results e.g. tempInC As Integer, tempInF As Integer
  • Declaration -- the packaging of the name, definition and parameters

Private Sub convertC2F (tempInC As Integer, tempInF As Integer)

tempInF = 9 * tempInC / 5 + 32

End Sub
