Computer Programming Branching Statements

Most programming languages can make decisions based on the data you provide. Instead of performing the same tasks the same number of times, branching statements create a program that reads your data and automatically performs the tasks you need, skipping the tasks you don't need. Here are some branching commands that you'll need to know:

If (condition) Then command<br /><br />If (condition) Then
  Commands
End if
<br />If (condition) Then
  Commands
Else
  Commands
End if
<br />If (condition) Then
  Commands
Elseif (condition2) then
  Commands
End if
<br />Select Case variable
  Case value1
    Commands
  Case value2
    Commands
  Else
    Commands
End select
<br />switch (variable) {
  case value1:
    Commands;
    break;
  case value2:
    Commands;
    break;
  default:
    commands;
}
