Programming Techniques

Use the above program to see the different forms of fraction display:

Loops

Branching backwards — that is, to a label in a previous line — makes it possible to
execute part of a program more than once. This is called looping.

value

Executes label F; prompts for a
fractional number (V).



value

Stores 2.53 in V; prompts for
denominator (D).

Message indicates the fraction
format (denominator is no greater
than 16), then shows the fraction.
