I am using Barron’s to review and found a few pseudocode questions like this:

 ![return example](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codeorgforum/original/2X/5/571cc05bb0d67d007d0d73c3f5ffa5707a41883a.jpeg)

I am guessin this is incorrect… the return appears to be OUTSIDE of the procedure?  
I have searched on the College Board and do NOT see it like this ever and I know code does not work like this… just wanted to make sure.  
Thanks,  
Michelle

Yeah, return definitely needs to be inside the procedure. Good catch!
