=====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.
