Exit Sub in java?

[MR Chahal]

Hello

What is the equalant of 'Exit Sub' from visual basic in java?

For example:

s1();
s2();
if a = b then exit sub
s3();

so if a is equal to b then the code will stop and not go on to executing s3()

You can use System.exit(0) if you want to exit your programe. And if you want to switch from function just write down a retrun statement there. It will automatically switch your programme to the main function from where it was called earlier.

Anything more you want to knwo just let me know.

Hello Ankur

when i use the System.exit(0) my program closes. I dont want my program to close but rather to stop the code to execute any futher. How can i do that?

Ok i have changed it. How can i stop a code from executing any further?

I cann't understand your problem pls let us know the logic of your function

And the another thing is, what you really mean by Stopping function. Either you need to close the application otherwise you want to switch the main function which called this function.

For closing the program you should use: System.exit(0);

For switching to the calling function. Use return statement;

FOr continuing to other line of another function you should use... Break statement


Let me know if still any concern.

I believe "exit sub" tell visual basic to exit the procedure. The closest analogy to a procedure is a method call. And to exit from a method call you use "return".

Something like this...

    public void foo() {
        s1();
        s2();
        if (a == b) return;
        s3();
    }
