Exiting

You may exit a word at any time using the word

EXIT

. For example:

		: halfway "hello" . EXIT "goodbye" . ;

Quiz

Run the

HALFWAY

program. Does "goodbye" print to the console? Can you explain? How would you amend

HALFWAY

so that it prints "goodbye" as well?

		: halfway "hello" . EXIT "goodbye" . ; 	
		: noexit  "hello" .      "goodbye" . ; 

		halfway  cr \ hello
		noexit   cr \ hello goodbye

exit

will leave the execution of a word. Therefore, the remaining code of

halfway

are not executed.
