Statements

The simplest type of statement in Pike is the empty statement, followed by the expression statement. For selection, Pike has if and switch statements. You can also make selections using the conditional operator, "? :". There are four different ways of writing loops: using while, for, do while, and foreach. foreach loops over a collection. Pike also has the statements break, continue and return. Statements can be grouped into blocks, who can contain local variables.
