CONDITIONAL BRANCHES = label branch equal # label branch not equal < label branch less than > label branch greater than ( label branch less than or equal ) label branch greater than or equal t label branch true k label branch false The Condition Code is tested and the branch is taken if the appropriate condition is satisfied, otherwise the next instruction in sequence is taken. e.g. @q@p?#4@r@sS:4 R = S if Q = P @q@p?(8 if Q > P start NOTE: The branch (if taken) is always in the forward direction and to a compiler defined label. This means that the compiler defined labels may be (and are) redefined without ambiguity. 13
