During last week's class, I introduced use of IF THEN.
The correct syntax is
IF condition THEN
' BASIC code statements here will execute when condition
evaluates to TRUE
ELSE
' BASIC code statements here will execute when
condition evaluates to FALSE
END IF
This decision-making construction may also be nested as in this example
IF a < b THEN
' BASIC code statements here
ELSE
IF a > b THEN
' BASIC code statements here
ELSE
' BASIC code statements here
END IF
END IF
