Write a program named

TESTELSE

that tests an input value, X.

If X<0, then square it and store it to Y. If X‚0, then store it to

Y. Display X and Y.

PROGRAM:TESTELSE

:Input "X=",X

:If X<0

:Then

:X

"Y

:Else

:X"Y

Use

For(

to control how many times a loop is repeated. A

For(

command loops to repeat the same group of commands

(block) and increments to control the number of times the loop

is repeated.
It executes commands in block through end, increasing

variable from begin by increment until variable>end.

increment is optional (default=1) and can be negative

(end<begin). end is a maximum or minimum value not to be

exceeded, which identifies the end of the loop.

End

identifies

the end of block. When variable>end, the program executes

each command following

End

.

For(

loops can be nested.

:For(

variable,begin,end[,increment]

)

:

block (while variable { end)

:End
