{{works with|QBasic}}
In ANSI BASIC, functions can be defined as either formulas or multi-line external or internal subroutines. External functions are independent program units that can be called from within the program. Internal functions are considered part of the program unit they are contained in and can only be called from within that unit. External functions do not share any information with other program units and exchange information through parameters and returned values. Internal functions share everything with their surrounding program unit except for their parameters. Internal functions do not have local variables.

Line 1,107 ⟶ 1,154:
In lambda calculus, multiplication on Church numerals is <code>mul = \m \n \f. m (n f)</code> which in BLC is
 
<syntaxhighlightpre>00 00 00 01 1110 01 110 10</syntaxhighlightpre>
 
If mul is used several times within an expression E, then they can share the same definition by using <code>(\mul. E)(\m\n\f. m (n f))</code>. For example, the cube function is <code>\n. (\mul. mul n (mul n n)) (\m\n\f. m (n f))</code> which in BLC is
 
<syntaxhighlightpre>00 01 00 01 01 10 110 01 01 10 110 110 0000000111100111010</syntaxhighlightpre>

Can require that the two arguments be of the same type.

Will work on any type where the * operator is defined.

=={{header|langur}}==
Langur functions are first-order. They are pure in terms of setting values and in terms of I/O (unless declared impure).
A function body may use curly braces, but it is not required if it is a single expression.
 
A return statement may be used, but a function's last value is its implicit return value.
 
=== parameters ===
Functions defined with explicit parameters may be closures, and those defined with implied parameters are not.
Parameters are defined within parentheses after the fn token. To specify no parameters, use an empty set of parentheses.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .multiply = fn(.x, .y) { .x * .y }
Langur functions are first-order. They are pure in terms of setting values, though not in terms of I/O.
 
=== explicit parameters ===
Explicit parameters are defined with parentheses after the f token, with no spacing. To specify no parameters, use an empty set of parentheses.
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .multiply = f(.x, .y) .x x .y
.multiply(3, 4)</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== implied parameters ===
Parameters are implied when the f token is not immediately followed by parentheses without spacing. The implied order of implied parameters is based on the string sort order of their names, not their order within the function.
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .multiply = f .x x .y
.multiply(3, 4)</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== operator implied functions ===
Operator implied functions are built using an infix operator between curly braces on an ffn token.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .multiply = fn{*}
{{works with|langur|0.6.6}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .multiply = f{x}
.multiply(3, 4)</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== nil left partially implied functions ===
These are built with an infix operator and onea right-hand operand inside the ffn{...} tokens.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .times3 = fn{* 3}
{{works with|langur|0.8.11}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="langur">val .times3 = f{x 3}
map .times3, [1, 2, 3]</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== impure functions (I/O) ===
Impure functions must be declared as such.
<syntaxhighlight>val .writeit = impure fn(.x) { writeln .x }</syntaxhighlight>
 
Impure functions cannot be passed to pure functions.
