Something like this? zzz[s_Integer, y_Integer] := Module[{q, f}, q = s y; f = s^y; q/f] zzz[2, 3] 3/4 You don't need a Return statement. A Module will just return the last expression. David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Someonekicked [mailto:someonekicked at comcast.net] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net new to mathematica, looked at the help, but did not get the help i needed.. I want to write a function that does multiple calculations in its body, then it returns a value. I am talking about functions similar to functions that you can declare in C++. can anyone give me an example? in C++, a function would be like, (note int means integer) int zzz(int s, int y) { int Q; Q = s*y; return Q; } well thats just a simple example, the body of my function is going to be complicated... I know in mathematica, I can solve the same zzz by zzz[s_,y_] := s*y; However, what if i want the body more complicated and do more than one thing??
