The default is to return no variables; this means the interpreter context will receive an empty ECMAScript object.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Notes

The interpreter context is the VoiceXML core. Plum DEV, upon reaching an `<exit>` tag, will simply discard the variables returned to it and disconnect. Unlike the `<disconnect>` tag, no event is thrown when an `<exit>` tag is encountered and the call is immediately terminated.

### Example

```markup
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <block>
      <prompt>
        You will hear this text.
      </prompt>
      <exit/>
      <prompt>
        You will never hear this text.
      </prompt>
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>
```

The output of the above script would be:

> Computer: You will hear this text.
