| Suppose you have the same group of blocks you would like to execute in multiple places within your Main Loop. A Function allows you to group these reused blocks in a separate execution boundary, and then use a single Call Function block from the Main Loop to go execute the blocks in the Function and then return execution to the Main Loop. |
*Creating a function was shown previously in the topic Using the Programming IDE / Resources / Functions.

Drag and drop the Function block onto your Workspace, click the data entry box and select your Function. |
