Statements

Statements appear in procedures and in a module's top-level block. The statement terminator is the semicolon, which may be omitted after the last statement in a sequence (in which case it is a statement separator).

Constructs such as FOR, WHILE, REPEAT, WITH, etc. can contain multiple statements and must be terminated by END. In general, whenever a Modula-3 language construct requires an END, it can contain zero, one, or more elements.

• Assignment Statements: INC, DEC, and :=
• Call and Return Statements: Calling and returning from procedures
• Selection Statements: IF-THEN, CASE, TYPECASE
• Looping Statements: FOR, WHILE, REPEAT, LOOP, EXIT
• Compound Statements: BEGIN/END, WITH
• Error Statements: RAISE, TRY-EXCEPT, TRY-FINALLY
