Is it possible in 1C to pass a function as an argument to some procedure or another function?

What do I pass as an argument - just function name? Do I need to put something before the function name?

I get an error "Variable is not defined" if I pass function name as an argument for another function

You need to pass full function inlcuding ()

yourfunction(myfunction())

I think you didn't get my question. I need to pass as an argument only function, not the result of function execution.

Hello Peter,

do you mean passing a function as an argument to another function? Like in Javascript, for example?

No, unfortunately this is not possible. Functions in 1C are not "first class" objects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_citizen), so they cannot be passed as parameters.

1С language is designed differently from JavaScript, PHP and Java. In fact for practical reasons it does not need passing function as an argument. I also knew that Java didn't have this option for a long time until Java 8. You can do any functionality in 1c without this feature. If you share with us the reason of why you need passing function as an argument we can advise you how the task can be achieved in 1C without this.

Kind regards,
Alex
