[/align]Using the Insert->Function Definition Generator i created a new function mysum with two variables var1 and var2 (both having passmode = By value)

I want this function to add the 2 variables and return the sum to the calling test.

code for the function:

Code:
Public Function mysum(var1, var2)

       ' TODO: add function body here

       sum=var1+var2

       msgbox(var1 & "+" & var2 & "=" & sum)

       return(sum)

End Function

TestCode:

Code:
sum=mysum(1,2)

Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "ReportStepName Pass", "Sum=" &sum

Result:
I get a Type mismatch error. I tried all combinations of function definitions like: e.g. int Public Function mysum(var1, var2) but i still get the type mismatch error.

Hi Richa,

Use the below code, return is not the valid syntax

Code:
Public Function mysum(var1, var2)

' TODO: add function body here

Dim sum

sum=var1+var2

msgbox(var1 & "+" & var2 & "=" & sum)

mysum = sum

End Function

sum=mysum(1,2)

msgbox  "Sum=" &sum

Thanks...

But this is strange... So if one wants to return values, it has to be stored in a variable name same as that of the function.

Whats the logic behind this? could u explain?

And what is the datatype of this mysum variable?

That is the logic for VB Scripting. For C language, you can use return to get the returning result from a function.
