===Commodore 64, etc.===

This mostly depends on the hardware, but typically home computers would boot in BASIC and <code>JSR</code> to the starting address on the disk. This means that the return address for BASIC is on top of the stack, and an <code>RTS</code> instruction will exit the program and return to BASIC, provided that execution is not inside one of the disk's subroutines.

cmp TestValue ;a label for a memory address that contains some value we want to test the accumulator against

beq continue

rts ;unlike the Z80 there is no conditional return so we have to branch around the return instruction.

===Nintendo Entertainment System===

There is no firmware or BASIC to return to, so the easiest way to do this is to "trap" the program counter with a branch back to itself. This isn't a complete termination since NMI code will still run, unless you disable the screen. In order to display a static "THE END" screen that doesn't take user input, which is what many games did once the game was beaten, you can do this:

halt:

Of course, this depends on your game using a software abstraction of its screen data that gets written to the hardware ports during vBlank; since execution in the main program has halted the ports aren't getting any new data and instead the last thing written to their user ram counterparts is just getting written to the hardware ports over and over again.

However, this Rosetta Code task requires a simple stoppage of the program including all tasks. The simple way to achieve this is to abort the environment task.

procedure Main is

Abort_Task (Current_Task);

end if;

Aborting a task with Abort_Task is equivalent to ''abort'' statement,

which is not used here because the environment task object is anonymous.

With the first approach:

-- Create as many task objects as your program needs

begin

return; -- actually, this is not needed

end if;

A task might look like:

begin

loop

end select

end loop;

With the second approach one simply returns from Main and all tasks are terminated by selecting the terminate alternative. Such tasks might look like:

begin

loop

end select

end loop;

An "exit"-statement aborts the current script,

An "exit" in an END-block causes an immediate exit:

The <code>atexit()</code> function (also in <tt>stdlib.h</tt>) can be used to register functions to be run when the program exits. Registered functions will be called in the reverse order in which they were registered.

if(problem){

abort();

Unlike <tt>exit()</tt>, <tt>abort()</tt> will not do any cleanup other than the normal OS one. Also, it may cause other actions like producing a core dump or starting a debugger.

=={{header|C sharp|C#}}==

{

Environment.Exit(1);

=={{header|C++}}==

There are several ways to terminate a program. The following is mostly the same as in C:

void problem_occured()

{

std::exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

The argument is the return value passed to the operating system. Returning 0 or the EXIT_SUCCESS signals successful termination to the calling process, EXIT_FAILURE signals failure. The meaning of any other value is implementation defined.

On calling <tt>std::exit</tt>, all functions registered with std::atexit are called, and the destructors of all objects at namespace scope, as well as of all static objects already constructed, are called. However the destructors of automatic objects (i.e. local variables) are ''not'' called (and of course, objects allocated with new will not be destructed as well, except if one of the called destructors destroys them). Due to this inconsistency calling <tt>std::exit</tt> is often not a good idea.

void problem_occured()

{

std::abort();

Unlike <tt>std::exit</tt>, <tt>std::abort</tt> will not do any cleanup other than the normal OS one. Also, it may cause other actions like producing a core dump or starting a debugger.

void problem_occured()

{

std::terminate();

The function <tt>std::terminate</tt> is what is automatically called when certain exception related failures happen. However it also can be called directly. By default it just calls abort, but unlike abort, its behaviour can be overridden with <tt>std::set_terminate</tt> (but it still must terminate the program in one way or anouther). Thererfore the amount of cleanup it does depends on whether it was overridden, and what the overridden function does.

{{trans|Java}}

The call <tt>System.exit</tt> does not finalize any objects by default. This default is to keep the program thread-safe. From the javadocs for the method to change this default: "may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock."

(. System exit integerErrorCode))

;conventionally, error code 0 is the code for "OK",

; while anything else is an actual problem

;optionally: (-> Runtime (. getRuntime) (. exit integerErrorCode))

You can use <code>(-> Runtime (. getRuntime) (. addShutdownHook myThread))</code> to add threads which represent actions to be run when the program exits.

This one does not perform cleanup:

(-> Runtime (. getRuntime) (. halt integerErrorCode)))

; conventionally, error code 0 is the code for "OK",

=={{header|COBOL}}==

Terminating the program will cause all open files to be closed and control to be returned to the operating system. There are 2 ways to do this: <code>STOP RUN</code> and <code>GOBACK</code>.<br/>

STOP RUN

<code>GOBACK</code> was added in COBOL 2002, and will terminate the program if it is reached in the '''main''' program.

GOBACK

The ability to return a return code to the operating system is available for both of these statements as an extension in some compilers.

=={{header|Common Lisp}}==

Many Common Lisp implementations provide a function named <code>quit</code> or sometimes <code>exit</code> which will exit the Lisp system; its parameters and the package it is in vary, but here are some implementations' versions, with a Unix-style exit status argument, and a fallback:

#+sbcl ( sb-ext:quit :unix-status status) ; SBCL

#+ccl ( ccl:quit status) ; Clozure CL

#+gcl (common-lisp-user::bye status) ; GCL

#+ecl ( ext:quit status) ; ECL

There is no standard form because the Common Lisp standard does not assume the presence of an operating system outside of the Lisp environment to exit to.

=={{header|D}}==

The usual C functions are available, plus assert Errors and user defined Errors, and Exceptions.

extern(C) void foo() nothrow {

//abort(); // Also this is allowed. Will not call foo, bar, spam.

exit(0);

Exit indicating successful completion:

interp.exitAtTop()

Exit indicating some problem:

Both of these have the same effect with regard to cleanup as as reaching the end of the main program. [To do: Find out what effect that is.]

# or

=={{header|Emacs Lisp}}==

Functions in <code>kill-emacs-hook</code> are called. (Except prior to Emacs 24 that hook was not run when in <code>-batch</code> mode.) The underlying C library <code>atexit()</code> handlers are called.

=={{header|Factor}}==

When the <code>exit</code> word is called, first it runs the shutdown hooks, and then exits the Factor VM, passing along an exit code to the operating system. If an error occurs while running the shutdown hooks, the error is ignored and the exit code <code>255</code> is passed along.

You can add your own shutdown hooks like so:

They are name/quotation pairs that are added to the associative mapping at the <code>shutdown-hooks</code> symbol in the <code>init</code> vocabulary.

=={{header|Forth}}==

if QUIT \ quit back to the interpreter

else BYE \ exit forth environment completely (e.g. end of a Forth shell script)

=={{header|Fortran}}==

In Fortran <tt>STOP</tt> stops the execution of the ''main'' process and its "children" (tested with OpenMP; if using POSIX threads, I think the <tt>stop</tt> behaves almost like C <tt>exit</tt>). Allocated memory or any other resource except opened file (which are closed) is not cleaned up.

! message is optional and is a character string.

=={{header|FreeBASIC}}==

Here is a very simple example of the use of the 'End' statement:

Dim isError As Boolean = True

Print

Print "Press any key to quit"

=={{header|Gnuplot}}==

if (problem) {

exit gnuplot

The Gnuplot manual under "exit" notes that "any open output files may not be completed cleanly". (Does that mean output buffers not flushed?)

===Return statement===

Basically, a return statement executed from anywhere in main() terminates the program.

if problem {

return

}

Deferred functions are run when the enclosing function returns, so in the example below, function <tt>paperwork</tt> is run.

This is the idiomatic mechanism for doing any kind of necessary cleanup.

Returns from functions other than main do not cause program termination. In particular, return from a goroutine simply terminates that one goroutine, and not the entire program.

import (

func cleanup(rec *requiresExternalCleanup) {

fmt.Println(rec.id, "cleanup")

{{out}}

<pre>

===Os.Exit===

Os.Exit causes its argument to be returned to the operating system as a program exit code. Unlike the return statement and runtime.Goexit, os.Exit exits promptly and does not run deferred functions.

fmt.Println("main program start")

os.Exit(-1)

}

{{out}}

<pre>

It does this only in the goroutine where panic was called.

Deferred functions in other goroutines are not run and if panicking goes unrecovered and the program terminates, all other goroutines are terminated abruptly.

fmt.Println("at the junction")

defer func() {

time.Sleep(1e9)

fmt.Println("main program done")

{{out}}

import System.Exit

exitWith (ExitFailure integerErrorCode) -- some failure with code

The above shows how to exit a thread. When the main thread exits, all other threads exit, and the return code in the exit call is the return code of the program. When any thread other than the main thread exits, only it is stopped, and if the exit code is not ExitSuccess, it is printed.

The call <tt>System.exit</tt> does not finalize any objects by default.

This default is to keep the program thread-safe. From the javadocs for the method to change this default: "may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, resulting in erratic behavior or deadlock."

System.exit(integerErrorCode);

//conventionally, error code 0 is the code for "OK",

// while anything else is an actual problem

//optionally: Runtime.getRuntime().exit(integerErrorCode);

You can use <code>Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(myThread);</code> to add threads which represent actions to be run when the program exits.

This one does not perform cleanup:

Runtime.getRuntime().halt(integerErrorCode);

The <code>quit()</code> function exits the shell.

=={{header|jq}}==

'''Example:'''

Note that error/0 expects its input to be null (as above), in which case no error message is printed, or a string, in which case the string is printed as an error message, as illustrated below:

=={{header|Jsish}}==

In ''jsish'' Ctrl-C will halt any running code and return to the shell. If no code is running, the shell exits on Ctrl-C.

=={{header|Julia}}==

quit() # terminates program normally, with its child processes. See also exit(0).

=={{header|Kotlin}}==

2. Uninvoked finalizers would then be invoked if this behavior had been enabled using the Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit(true) method. However, this method is currently deprecated because it may result in finalizers being called on live objects while other threads are concurrently manipulating those objects, leading to erratic behavior or even deadlock.

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

if (problem) System.exit(1) // non-zero code passed to OS to indicate a problem

println("Program terminating normally") // this line will not be executed

After the program has terminated, the exit status can be queried from the command line (Windows 10) as follows:

=={{header|Lasso}}==

Lasso will stop processing when it encounters an "abort". By providing a "handle" block, possible cleanups can be executed before finishing execution.

It is also possible to provide a "handle" block that will only execute if there's an error.

There are two ways which differ slightly:

will terminate a so-called <code>stopped</code> context which is a way of executing a block of code and catching errors that occur within. Any user program will always run in such a context and therefore be terminated upon calling <code>stop</code>

Neither the operand stack nor the dictionary stack are touched or cleaned up when calling <code>stop</code>. Anything pushed onto either stack will remain there afterwards.

will terminate the PostScript interpreter. This is definitely a way to stop the current program but since an interpreter can run multiple programs at the same time, this should rarely, if ever, be used.

A panic in Rust will terminate the current thread. If the panic is in the main thread, the program will exit. If the panic is from another thread; that thread will terminate and the program, along with the other threads, will keep running.

panic!("A runtime panic occured");

println!("This line won't be printed");

Because of the panic, the last line will not run. If the panic happened in another thread, the program could keep running.

'''Panic Inside a Thread'''

fn main() {

println!("This line should be printed");

Now the panic will be contained inside the background thread and will not affect the rest of the program.
