Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the different types of control structures that are used in the AWK programming language. We learned types of conditional statements such as if
, if...else
, if...else...if
, and switch...case
. Then we learned about different looping constructs like while
, do...while
, and for
loops.Finally, we saw the usage of different flow control statements such as break
, continue
, exit
, and next
.
In next chapter, we will learn about the different types of built-in and user-defined functions available in AWK.
