## Defining a function
|
|
|
|
Body of a function consists of two parts, the first part (**`block {}`** or **`begin ... end`**) - normally consists of logic *(flow conditions, variable declarations, etc.)*, and the second part (**`with ...`**) usually defines the return value of your function.

|
```pascaligo
|
|
const availableSupply: nat = 15n;
|
|
const totalSupply: nat = 100n;
|
|
|
|
function calculatePrice(const available: nat; const total: nat): nat is
|
|
begin
|
|
const price: nat = total / available
|
|
end with price
|
|
|
|
const price: nat = calculatePrice(availableSupply, totalSupply);
|
|
```
|

### Functions without an explicit body (shorter syntax)
|
|
|
|
A short hand syntax for the same function as above can inline the price calculation directly into the return statement.
|
|
While this approach can have it's benefits, it can decrease readability.
