Keyword End - leonard-thieu/monkey GitHub Wiki

Declares the end of a class, function, method or similar block-style definition, or of certain loop or conditional blocks.

Syntax

  Block keyword   End [ Block keyword ]

Description

The End keyword closes off a class, function, method or similar block (eg. interfaces, future additions), but may also be used in place of block-specific keywords which close certain loops or conditional blocks (ie. those that don't need to perform testing at the end of the block).

End may also be combined with a space followed by the block opening keyword. For example, a Class block may be closed by End or End Class according to individual preference.

Some examples are listed below.
