Part 2
All but one of the control structures we'll be looking at will
execute only one statement. This doesn't sound very impressive
or convenient, and, in fact, it would make for a very serious
limitation if you could only use procedure calls and assignment
statements. Such is not the case. Pascal considers the following
structure to be a single statement:
begin
;
;
end;
This structure is known as a block or compound statement. It can
be used anywhere that a simple statement can; you can even use
one block statement within another. Compound statements are
most often used in conjunction with control structures, as you'll
soon see.
