<H2><A NAME="SEC28" HREF="ProgrammersManual_toc.html#TOC28">MOO Language Statements</A></H2>

<P>
Statements are MOO constructs that, in contrast to expressions, perform some
useful, non-value-producing operation.  For example, there are several kinds of
statements, called `looping constructs', that repeatedly perform some set of
operations.  Fortunately, there are many fewer kinds of statements in MOO than
there are kinds of expressions.
