Control-Flow

Control Flow in APL

Control flow in APL looks very different from what you’ve seen in C-family or Python-style languages. Because APL is array-oriented, most decisions and iterations that other languages spell out …

Control Flow in Assembly

In high-level languages, control flow is structured: if, else, while, for. In Assembly, none of these keywords exist. The processor only knows how to do two things with the instruction pointer: …

Control Flow in AWK

Control flow in AWK is unique among programming languages. While AWK includes the familiar if/else, for, and while constructs from C, its primary control flow mechanism is something else entirely: …

Control Flow in BASIC

Control flow is what turns a list of statements into a real program. BASIC was designed to make these constructs easy to read — even decades later, an IF...THEN or FOR...NEXT block reads almost like …

Control Flow in BLISS

Control flow is where BLISS makes one of its boldest statements: it has no goto. Created in 1969, BLISS was one of the earliest languages to deliberately omit unconditional jumps, relying entirely on …

Control Flow in ABAP

Control flow is how a program decides what to do next - branching on conditions, repeating actions, and iterating over collections. ABAP, despite its enterprise pedigree and 1983 origins, provides a …

Control Flow in Ada

Control flow defines the order in which statements execute in a program. Ada provides a rich set of control structures designed with safety and readability in mind, reflecting its heritage as a …

Control Flow in ALGOL 60

Introduction

Control flow is where ALGOL 60’s lasting influence becomes most visible. When the language was designed in 1960, structured programming was not yet a household idea — most …

Control Flow in ALGOL 68

Introduction

Control flow is what turns a list of instructions into a real program: deciding which branch to take, repeating work over a range of values, and choosing between alternatives. ALGOL 68 …
