The [END](END) statement terminates a program without an immediate exit or ends a procedure or statement block.

## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In **QB64**, [END](END) can be followed by a code that can be read by another module using the [SHELL (function)](SHELL-(function)) or [_SHELLHIDE](_SHELLHIDE) function (known as [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20080926-00/?p=20743 **errorlevel**])
|
||
|
|
* When END is used to end a program, there is a pause and the message "Press any key to continue..." is displayed at the bottom of the program's window.
|
||
|
|
* If the program does not use END or [SYSTEM](SYSTEM), the program will still end with a pause and display "Press any key to continue...".
|
||
|
|
* In **QB64**, [SYSTEM](SYSTEM) will end the program immediately and close the window.
|
||
|
|
* The **QB64** [_EXIT (function)](_EXIT-(function)) can block a user's Ctrl + Break key presses and clicks on the window's close button (X button) until the program is ready to close.
|

|
## Example(s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In QB64 you won't return to the IDE unless you are using it to run or edit the program module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```vb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PRINT "Hello world!"
|
||
|
|
END
|
||
|
|
PRINT "Hello no one!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Returns:*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hello world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Press any key to continue...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> *Explanation:*"Hello no one!" isn't returned because the program ended with the END statement no matter what is after that.
|
||
|
|
> The message "Press any key to continue..." is displayed after the program ends, both in QBasic and in **QB64**.
