Program Flow: Introduction and Requirements
Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to describe how you can make your programs perform
more useful tasks. This involves making decisions and repeating sections of instructions (loops).
These are two of the lowest level features that make computers so good at performing
general processing tasks, and are therefore quite important to understand. This
is known as the program flow, which is simply another way of saying "in what sequence
the instructions in your program are carried out".
In this chapter you will learn some more new oprators. You will then be taken
through the different basic keywords for decision making and looping. A summary of the
important points will be presented and you will be given exercises to practise your new
knowledge. Examples will be provided throughout, along with example solutions to the
exercises.
Requirements
Before proceeding with this chapter you should be familiar with the fundamentals of
PureBasic, variables and the commands used for simple output.
