The following table is a set of statements and keywords that can be used in the script.

Type

Description

ifelse Statement

The if statement executes the instruction code when the condition is true. Otherwise, the else statement will execute its instruction code. if...else statements can be nested inside of another if...else statement using the else if statement, which creates nested loop. Please note that there is no limitation on how many else if can be nested inside of if...else.

while/dowhile Statement

Statements for loop processes. while loop expression The while statement will continue to execute until the expression becomes false. As for the

dowhile loop, do instruction code will always Statement

The do statement will be executed at least once before while expression condition is evaluated. The loop will repeat until while expression condition becomes false.

for Statement

A for loop repeats until a specified condition becomes false.

switchcase Statement

Executing different processes based on different conditions.

continue Statement

Terminates execution of the current iteration in a loop and then execute the next iteration in a loop.

break Statement

Terminates the execution of a loop entirely.

return Function

Ends function execution and specifies a value to be returned to the function caller.

runScript() Function

runScript() is used to call another script program. For example, if runScript() is being used in script name "A" to call a script name "B", as soon as script A executes, script B will execute as well.

Example for ifelse:

if (A == 1) {

//run this instruction if A is equal to 1.

...

//run this instruction if A does not equal 1 or 2.

}

Example for

...

while:

A = 0;

while (A < 10) {

A = A + 1;

...

In this example, 0 is set as the initial value for variable A. While A is less than 10,

...

continue to add 1 to A until A

...

is equal to 10. Once A is equal to 10,

...

the while loop will end.

...

}

A = 0;

...

while (

...

A < 10)

...

{

// Write the program that will be repeated.  

// while the WHILE keyword’s condition is True.

// This example will be repeated 10 times.

A = A + 1;

}

The subordinate statements will never be executed if the conditions for the WHILE statement are not true. If you use a DO-WHILE statement, the loop statement will be executed at least once. After the first execution, the system will check the condition within the WHILE statement.

Do {

// Write the loop statement when the condition is True.

// The loop statement will be executed once at least.

...

Example for do...while:

In this example, 0 is set as the initial value for variable A. The do statement will first get executed and will continue to add 1 to A until A is equal to 10. Once A is equal to 10, the do...while loop will end.

A = 0;

do {

A = A + 1;

} while (A < 10);

(3) FOR Statement

In this statement, all expressions for the initialization, the decision-making, and the post-loop process are described in a single statement line.
