Programming 610

Because a Goto command is unconditional (it always branches to the specified label), it

is often used with an

If command so that you can specify a conditional test. For example:

If x>5, branches directly to label GT5.

Ë For this example, the program must include commands (such as Stop) that prevent Lbl GT5

from being executed if x

{5.

Using Loops to Repeat a Group of Commands

To repeat the same group of commands successively, use a loop. Several types of loops

are available. Each type gives you a different way to exit the loop, based on a conditional

test.
