Programming in Maple

Up until this point, discussion has been focused on only two statement
types of the Maple programming language, the "expression statement" and
the "assignment statement".  We will now examine more complicated and
useful forms of programming statements.  In each case, we will give an
outline of the syntax of the statement, a description of its meaning or
effect, and an example of its use.  Throughout you should remember that
Maple is not a line-oriented language.  Placing different parts of the
statement on different lines is only done for clarity, not out of
necessity.
