=====Syntax=====

<code xcbasic>
END
END ASM
END FUNCTION
END IF
END SUB
END TYPE
</code>

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 =====
<code xcbasic>
' 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 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
</code>
  
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.
