====== Procedures ======

**XC=BASIC** supports the procedural style of programming through the ''[[PROC|PROC ... ENDPROC]]'' statements. To call a procedure, use the ''[[CALL|CALL]]'' command.

A procedure is similar to a subroutine, except that

  * A procedure opens a unique variable and label scope
  * A procedure can have zero or more parameters
  * A procedure can call itself without overwriting the local variables (recursion)

Please see the documentation of ''[[PROC|PROC ... ENDPROC]]'' for more information.
