MSL compound statements include loop statements and if statements. In MSL, a sequence of statements can be treated as one statements by enclosing in braces {}. We will call this a statement block and denote it in the statement descriptions as {BLOCK}. The following compound statements can be used to alter or change the flow of control in a MSL program:<\/p>\n
if (expression) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
if (expression) {BLOCK} else {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
foreach variable in (array) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
foreach variable, variable in (array) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
foreach variable in (hash) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
foreach variable, variable in (hash) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
function name(argument list, …) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
switch (variable) {
\ncase a: {BLOCK}
\n. . .
\ncase z: {BLOCK}
\ndefault: {BLOCK}
\n}<\/p>\n
while (expression) {BLOCK}<\/p>\n
Note: Compound statements are defined in terms of statement blocks, not statements. This means that the braces are required rather than optional. No dangling statements are allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
