Creating a New Program

Pausing Program Execution

You can specify where execution of a program should pause by including either a Pause command or a Wait command inside the program.

kUsing the Pause Command

A Pause command causes program execution to pause when it reaches that point. To

resume program execution, tap the button on the right side of the status bar (which will also cause the button to disappear).

Example

kUsing the Wait Command

The syntax of the Wait command is: Wait<seconds>. When program execution reaches the Wait command, it pauses for the specified number of seconds and then resumes automatically. If you do not specify a value for the number of seconds, execution remains paused until you tap the screen or press a key.

Tip

To input the Pause or Wait command, tap [Ctrl] on the menu bar, tap [Control], and then select the command you want.

Terminating Program ExecutionPressing cwhile a program is running terminates the program.

Tip

Pressing cdoes not terminate the program if program execution is already paused by the

Pause command (indicated by on the status bar). In this case, tap to resume program execution, and then press c.
