A function is a subroutine to which one or more of the following apply:
- it received parameters
- it acts on the parameters
- it processes data located elsewhere
- it returns a value
A function does not create a new thread, and therefore the process which called the function waits until the function is completed before continuing executing its code.
As opposed to a process, a function doesn't have a frame; statement. See process for more information.
