| Sep 12, 2012 at 0:50 | comment | added | AeroCross | No, @JimG. It's not about solving a problem (perhaps a problem of comunication?), but to know how to technically refer to something. Programming (as any other profession) relies on correct communication and a lot of technical terms that we all need to know about. I wanted some context and some background information, because as in many languages, things are called different but we always have a "reference point" or a "base" — this being it. | |

How you call it is probably Example.sum(2, 5);. You want to know what you call it.

| Sep 10, 2012 at 8:33 | comment | added | user4051 | @YannisRizos while it's true that you can call things whatever you want, it turns out to be useful to have a shared terminology (or ubiquitous language) for discussing things with others. | |

I was taught the difference was that functions (are pure and thus) don't have side affects while procedures do. To me what you are taking about is the difference between procedures/functions in pascal. But really you are worrying about abstract concepts that depend on the current language for exact definition. As long as people understand what you mean it should not make a difference.
