Module 31A: Coding - Control Structures A (Optional)
Outcome
Create programs that use control structures to affect program flow.
Indicators
| (a) | Identify common control structures that affect program flow. |
| (b) | Explain the primary function of a loop in a program and the role of conditions in controlling the number of iterations of the loop. |
| (c) | Compare the characteristics of common looping structures (e.g., WHILE, DO-WHILE and FOR). |
| (d) | Use looping structures to make a device repeat an action or series of actions a specific number of times or until a condition is met. |
| (e) | Discuss the purpose of the BREAK, CONTINUE, GOTO, EXIT and SWITCH control structures. |
