Sequential Statements

Introduction

Sequential Statements

  • Executed according to the order in which they appear
  • Permitted only within processes and subprograms
  • Used to describe algorithms

Notes

All statements in processes or subprograms are processed sequentially, i.e. one after another.

Like in ordinary programming languages there exists a variety of constructs to control the flow of execution. The if clause is probably the most obvious and most frequently used.
