Defining a function in pseudocode

Question

I am trying to define a function in LaTeX pseudocode, as shown below.

\begin{algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Function{Increment}{$a$}
.....
\EndFunction
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

However, when I compile, I get the error, undefined control sequence \Function{Increment}{$a$}. What mistake am I doing here and how can I solve it?

Like Vikram said: use algpseudocode from the algorithmicx package, it’s superior to the other pseudocode packages.

Then you can do the following:

\begin{algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}
\Procedure{YourFunction}{$x$}
  \State Do Something
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

use this:

\usepackage[noend]{algpseudocode}

or try the following:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{algorithmic}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
    \STATE Function\{Increment\}\{\$b1\$}
     .....
    \STATE EndFunction
\end{algorithmic}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
