The variable expression statement is also called an assignment statement,
because it assigns a value to a variable.
if Statements
An if statement follows the form
if <expression> <statement>
For example,
if (3 && 3) Trace("True!");
will cause the program to evaluate whether the expression 3 && 3 is
nonzero, or True. It is, so the expression evaluates to True and the Trace
statement will be executed. On the other hand, the expression 3 && 0 is
not nonzero, so it would evaluate to False, and the statement wouldn't be
executed.
if-else Statements
The form for an if-else statement is
if <expression> <statement1>
else <statement2>
The following code
if ( 3 - 3 || 2 - 2 ) Trace ( "Yes" );
else Trace ( "No" );
will cause "No" to be printed, because 3 - 3 || 2 - 2 will evaluate to
False (neither 3 - 3 nor 2 - 2 is nonzero).
while Statements
A while statement is written as
while <expression> <statement>
An example of this is
x = 2;
while ( x < 5 )
{
Trace ( x, ", " );
x = x + 1;
}
The result of this would be
