Summary
Logical expressions are constructed using relational, logical, and string
comparison operators.
The CASE statement is used to distinguish between mutually exclusive options.
A DO loop is used to unconditionally execute a block of code multiple times.
WHILE loop conditionally executes a block of code, possibly multiple times.
The CHECK statement is used to test a logical expression
The EXIT statement unconditionally terminates a loop, subroutine, or program.
The CONTINUE statement is used inside a loop.
