Methods Introduction

- subroutines (doesn’t returns a value)
- functions (returns a value)
Subroutines are declared with the Sub keyword, and functions are declared with the Function keyword.

Private Sub MySub()
Console.WriteLine("Inside subroutine")

Example (Function)

Sub Main()
Dim returnedValue As Integer
returnedValue = MyFunc()
Console.WriteLine(returnedValue)
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
Private Function MyFunc() As Integer
Console.WriteLine("I am Inside function, and also return a value")
Return 100
End Function
End Module
