| Jul 3, 2019 at 20:39 | comment | added | Luvexina | @Hosch250 There are languages that don't have STDOUT, like JS | |

| Apr 4, 2017 at 8:58 | comment | added | Shaun Bebbers | @MartinEnder Most (all?) 8-bit BASIC interpreters do not specifically return a value from a sub-routine, whilst many will allow you to define a mathematical function with the DEF keyword, this is quite limited. I also don't recall Amiga BASIC included with WorkBench having return values from sub-routines but it's been many years since I did any Amiga BASIC so don't quote me on that. 6502/10 assembly does not return values from sub-routines either. If you know that you've stored your result in the accumulator, then you simply use that on return from your sub-routine. | |

| Nov 3, 2014 at 0:21 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @hosch250 This particular answer only concerns functions. Whether functions and/or programs are allowed is another question (see the linked meta question, but of course it's ultimately up to the challenge author). But this answers says that if functions are allowed, then they should be allowed to use their return value for the result - as are all other answers here that start with the word Functions. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 0:19 | comment | added | user10766 | Oh, that is not considered outputting the last I heard - that is returning a value. If the question asks for a function, this is correct. If the question asks for a program, I support outputting to STDOUT or a file. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 0:17 | comment | added | Martin Ender | @hosch250 Wait, are there languages that have functions without return values? o.O | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 0:16 | comment | added | user10766 | How many languages support this? I support outputting to STDOUT. | |
