Loop Control Using
Example: Here is a program that illustrates how works. It
contains a loop that pauses to display the current value in R; and
uses to control the number of passes through the loop and the
value of a squared number. The program generates a table of
squares of even numbers from 2 through 50.

Begin the loop.
Recall the number in R;.
Take the integer portion.
Pause to display the

Square the number.
Display the square of the

Increment R; by 2 and
check to see that the
counter is not greater than
the final number (50). If
the counter is greater than
the final number, skip the
