Piecewise expressions are a shortcut to handling conditions in math statements.

They can be used for turning an If block or several such blocks into a single line, creating much smaller and faster code. (more...)


A subprogram is a program called by another program to perform a particular task or function for the program.

When a task needs to be performed multiple times (such as displaying character data), you can make it into a separate subprogram.

The complete program is thus made up of multiple smaller, independent subprograms that work together with the main program. (more...)
