// Solidity follows the same syntax of controle structures as Java script or C.
// hence Most of the control structures from JavaScript are available in Solidity
// except for switch and goto. So there is: if, else, while, do, for, break, continue,
// return, ? :, with the usual semantics known from C or JavaScript.
// Let's quickly go through ther syntax in this lecture.

address public a;
function ControlStructure(uint input1) {
// if-else can be used like this
if(input1 == 2)
a = 1;
else
a = 0;
// while can be used like this
while(input1 >= 0){
if(input1 == 5)
continue;
input1 = input1 - 1;
a++;
}
// for loop can be used like this
for(uint i=0; i<=50; i++)
{
a++;
if(a == 4) break;
}
// do while can be used like this
do{
a--;
} (while a>0);
// Conditional Operator can be used like this
bool isTrue = (a == 1)? true: false;
// will show an error because
//there is no type conversion from non-boolean to boolean
if (1) {
//some work
}
}
