Abstract: Abstract The control flow in a function or program is not just linear, but is determined by branches, loops, and non-local transfer of control. The standard control-flow mechanisms usually found in high-level programming languages such as compound expressions, conditional evaluation, short-circuit evaluation, repeated evaluation, and exception handling are available in Julia and are discussed in detail in this chapter. Additionally, tasks are a powerful mechanisms for non-local transfer of control and make it possible to switch between computations. Parallel or distributed computing is discussed in detail as well, presenting various techniques how to distribute computations efficiently and conveniently.
