Begins the definition of a user-defined function.
Name is the name of the function.
ArgumentList is a comma-separated list of parameter declarations (see below).
Type specifies the data type (String, Integer, Double, Long, Variant). Alternatively, the type can be indicated by appending a type suffix (e.g. % for Integer) to the function name (see the section Data types).
The function definition ends with End Function. The Exit Function statement can be used to exit a function prematurely.

The keywords ByVal or ByRef (default value) are used to indicate whether the parameter is passed by value or by reference (see the section Passing parameters via ByRef or ByVal).

Example:
Sub Main
For i% = 1 to 10
Print GetColor2(i%)
Next i
End Sub
Function GetColor2(c%) As Long
GetColor2 = c% * 25
If c% > 2 Then
GetColor2 = 255 ' 0x0000FF - Red
End If
If c% > 5 Then
GetColor2 = 65280 ' 0x00FF00 - Green
End If
If c% > 8 Then
GetColor2 = 16711680 ' 0xFF0000 - Blue
End If
End Function
