Transfers control to one of three labels.
Syntax
IF (arithmetic-expression) labelN, labelZ, labelP |
- arithmetic-expression
is an arithmetic expression of any numeric type
except complex and double complex.
- label
is a label of an executable statement.
Description
The
arithmetic IF statement transfers control to the statement whose
label is determined by arithmetic-expression. If arithmetic-expression evaluates to a negative value, control transfers
to labelN; if it evaluates to 0, control transfers to labelZ; and if it evaluates to a positive value, control
transfers to labelP.
The same label may appear more than once in the same arithmetic IF statement.
Each label must be that of an executable statement in the
same scoping unit as the arithmetic IF.
Examples
! Branch to statement labeled 10
IF (i) 10, 20, 30 |
