BASIC Operations - JSS2 Computer Studies Lesson Note

PRINT Statement: The PRINT statement in BASIC is used to display text or the value of variables on the screen. It facilitates communication between the program and the user.

INPUT Statement: The INPUT statement allows the program to receive input from the user. It prompts the user for data, which is then stored in a variable for further processing.

FOR...NEXT Loop: The FOR...NEXT loop in BASIC is a control structure that repeats a set of statements for a specified number of iterations. It simplifies repetitive tasks and supports efficient coding.

IF...THEN...ELSE Statement: Conditional statements, such as IF...THEN...ELSE, enable decision-making in a program. Depending on a specified condition, the program executes different sets of instructions.

GOTO Statement: The GOTO statement is used to redirect the flow of a program to a specified line number. While it can simplify program control, its use is often discouraged in modern programming practices due to potential code complexity.
