Conditional Code VB has a number of block structures for conditional code: IF condition THEN action IF condition THEN action1 action2... END IF

Conditional Code (contd.) IF condition THEN action1 … ELSE action2 … END IF

Today Conditional Code (contd.) Loops

Conditional Code (contd.) IF condition1 THEN action1 … ElseIf condition2 THEN action2 … ElseIf condition3 THEN action3 … Else default action … END IF

Loops Repeat code –Counter Initial value Terminal Value Increment (step size)

Loops For c = 1 to 10 Step 2 action1 action2 … Next c Initial Value Terminal Value Increment Value Body of the loop Increment and check terminating condition
