In this chapter, we have learned how to:

• Write a simple script and execute it.

• Use the control statements if and switch.

• Use for, while, and dostatements.

• Perform exception handling with the unwind_protect and try statements.

• Put everything together in order to write a script with complicated program flow.

• Save and load our work using the save and load commands.

• Use the printf function.

In the next chapter you will use the statements learned here when you code your own Octave functions.
