Functions in the explicit sense. BASIC originates from ALGOL, where there are two types of subprograms: procedures and functions. Procedures do not return a result, while functions return a result. It is necessary to add functions that return a result and procedures that accept parameters - more than one, not just integer types, which will be local variables.
