There is a problem with the first sentence,

"Because computer programs respond to a user, there is no way around the fact that portions of a program need to be executed conditionally."

A program which computes a formula from user input may not need to branch, and conversely a program with complex logic which receives no direct inputs from a user (paging in the OS) may need to branch.

It is unclear exactly how to introduce this topic. Mjr1007 (talk) 17:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
