A compound statement, or block, is a list of statements enclosed by the keywords BEGIN and END.
begin statement_1 statement_2 statement_n end; |
Syntactically, a block is considered to be a single statement which is allowed to be used when BASIC syntax requires a single statement. Blocks can be nested up to the limits of memory.
For example ..
if a > 5 then // if 'a' is greater than 5 then ... begin a = 5; // set variable 'a' equal to 5 b = b + 1; // and add 1 to variable 'b' end; |
or ..
case U0 // check the contents of user variable U0
is 5 then // if U0 is 5 then begin U1 = 19; // set U1 to 19 U2 = 's'; // and U2 to 's' end;
is 7 then // but if U0 is 7 then begin U1 = 6; // set U1 to 6 U2 = 'd' // and set U2 to 'd' end;
caseend;
