Lesson 4 – Practical
Control Structures
Learning Objectives

After studying this lesson, you should be able to:

• Identify the uses and types of control structures


• Construct an IF statement
• Use CASE statements and CASE expressions
• Construct and identify different loop statements
NOTE

Practicals are depended on the theory session. Lecturer must execute


the practical after the theory session. The practical Lecturers will be notified to
start with a practical. This will maintain consistency and quality amongst the
various practical groups. Students need to understand the theoretical
background before they can apply the theory into practical.
