104 Section 9: Branching and Looping
Conditional Branching
Often there are situations when it is desirable for a program to be able to branch
to different lines in program memory, depending on certain conditions. For
example, a program used by an accountant to calculate taxes might need to
branch to different program lines depending on the tax rate for the particular
income level.
