The LPC function (or method):

The LPC function is similar but not identical to that provided by C (it is most similar to that provided by ANSI C). The syntax is as follows:
return_type function_name(arg1_type arg1, arg2_type arg2, ...)
{
	variable_declarations;
	...;

	statements;
	...;
	return var0;
}
Note that var0 must be of return_type.

If a function doesn't need to return a value, then it should be declared with a return_type of "void". E.g.

void function_name(arg1_type arg1, ...)
{
	statements;
	...;
}
Invoke a function as follows:
function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3, ...);
You may invoke a function in another object as follows:
object->function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3, ...);
or:
call_other(object, function_name, arg1, arg2, ...);
