clump

also written: fn, function, def

Clumps

Make your own word that does a bunch of things.

How to write it

clump <name>(<boxes>)
    <things to do>
unga

clump <name>()          ugg no boxes

clump <name>(a, b, c)   ugg many boxes

What it does

A clump is a bunch of code with a name. Run it any time by writing its name with parentheses.

The names in parentheses become boxes filled with whatever you pass in. Use ork to give an answer back.

Example

clump yell(word)
    oga shout(word), "!!!"
unga

yell("hello")
yell("booga")

Tips

• Make a clump before you use it (the computer reads top to bottom).
• A clump with an ork gives something back: grunk x = double(4)
• A clump that uses itself is called recursion -- powerful and fun.
