Jira (PUP-7904) return() errors inside iteration functions

[Garrett Guillotte (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Garrett Guillotte commented on PUP-7904   Re: return() errors inside iteration functions Henrik Lindberg I'm sorry, I'm not sure that I'm parsing this sentence accurately. If called from within a lambda the return will return from the function containing the lambda (as opposed to from the function being given the lambda). Specifically, I don't understand "the return will return from the function", and I'm not confident that I understand the distinction between "the function containing the lambda" and "the function being given the lambda". Is this interpretation accurate? If the return function is called from within a lambda, the return action is from the scope of the function containing the lambda (top scope), not the function accepting the lambda (local scope). With the additional example of: **Example:** Using `return` in a lambda   # Concatenate three strings into a single string formatted as a list. function getFruit() { with("apples", "oranges", "bananas") |$x, $y, $z| { return("${x}, ${y}, and ${z}") } notice "not reached" } $fruit = getFruit() notice $fruit # The output contains "apples, oranges, and bananas". # "not reached" is not output because the function returns its value within the calling function's scope, which stops processing the calling function before the `notice "not reached"` statement. # Using `return()` outside of a calling function results in an error.
