Choose the construction that best satisfies the requirements of speed and clarity.
The construction GoTo LabelledStatement is available in many languages, including VBA, but not
in VBS. GOTO is not allowed in VBS.

A very simple example:
If A >= 0 Then B = Sqr (A) 'Take the square root of A if A is not negative.
If A + B < C + D Then E = F : G = H_ 'No End Is needed if all on one
line.
If you need to perform a longer procedure, make this construction:
If A >= 0 Then
B = Sqr (A)
C = 32766 * Sin ( TwoPi * B / PeriodOfSinusoid)
End If ' End If is needed to terminate the construction.
The If statement is very often used with the following Boolean expressions:
