Branching
STATEMENT
Branching statements are the statement
used to jump the flow of execution from
one part of program to another . It affects
program sequence by transferring the
control to the labeled statement .
There are two types of branching
statements :-
• Unconditional Branching
Unconditional
Branching
It transfers the control flow directly without
testing any conditions from one statement
to another in a program .
GOTO
GOTO statement tells the program to
go to another place in the program directly
.
SYNTAX :
Conditional

IF….THEN
IF…THEN statement is used to perform

condition .
SYNTAX :
IF….THEN….ELSE
IF…THEN…ELSE is used to execute a
statement or block of statement if the if

be executed .
SYNTAX :
IF<condition> THEN <statement1>ELSE
<statement2>
IF….ELSEIF…ENDIF
IF…ELSEIF…ENDIF is used to execute a

SYNTAX : SELECT CASE <expression>
CASE 1
statements
CASE 2

LOOPING
STATEMENT
Looping is the process of repeating the
execution of a statement or block of
statements guided by a condition. The loop
is terminated when the given condition is
satisfied .
• DO….LOOP WHILE statement
• WHILE…WEND
• FOR….NEXT
DO…LOOP
WHILE ..
In this statement DO caries statement
to be done while the condition will be
within while and it gets repeated until
the condition is false .
Syntax:
DO
<statements >
LOOP WHILE <
condition >
DO…LOOP
WHILE ..
WHILE .. WEND
In this statement, if the condition in the while
satisfies then the statement will run otherwise
end .
Syntax:
WHILE <condition>
<statements >
WEND
WHILE .. WEND
FOR ….NEXT ..
In this statement, if the condition in the FOR
satisfies then the statement will run and repeat
through the next statement and if the condition
gets false the program will end .
Syntax:
FOR <counter = start to end>
<statements >
NEXT counter
