 +=====Syntax=====

 +  END
 +  END ASM
 +  END FUNCTION
 +  END IF
 +  END SUB
 +  END TYPE
 +
 +The ''END'' command terminates the execution of the program immediately. It can be used within the normal program flow and/or (optionally) at the very end of the program.
 +
 +The ''END'' keyword may also be used to mark the end of an [[ASM]], [[FUNCTION]], [[IF]], [[SUB]] or [[TYPE]] block. See the linked pages for details.
 +===== Examples =====
 +  ' print a common phrase and then terminate the program
 +  PRINT "Hello, world!"
 +  END
 +  
 +  ' terminate a program if a specific condition has been met
 +  ' and continue on if not
 +  DIM a AS TYPE BYTE
 +  LET a = 5
 +  PRINT "I just stopped in to see what condition my condition..."
 +  IF a = 5 THEN
 +      PRINT "...was in."
 +      END
 +  ELSE
 +      PRINT "...wasn't in."
 +  END IF
 +  PRINT "If you can read this, I wasn't in the correct condition."
 +  END
 +  
 +In the first example above, the ''END'' statement terminates the program after the ''PRINT'' statement.
 +
 +<adm note>
 +The ''END'' statement is optional if positioned at the end of the program's running code and logic flow.
 +</adm>
 +
 +In the second example, because the condition specified in the ''IF'' statement is ''TRUE'' at runtime, the program terminates immediately following ''PRINT "...was in."'' and no additional code is executed.
