    Basic computer programming for beginners:

    // This program is issued under the GPL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License) which allows everyone
    // the freedom to study, run, share (copy) and modify the software. Copyright (C) X. Vororo, 2015.

    WHILE (gilead-patents = true) DO

    IF (patient-lives = europe OR patient-lives = america) THEN

    IF (patient-fibrosis >= F3) THEN
    treatment MIGHT BE AVAILABLE in national health system
    GOTO GILEAD-HEAVEN // warning tickets $ 80 000 per head
    ELSE
    treatment NOT AVAILABLE in national health service
    PAUSE
    ENDIF

    IF (patient-reads = “fixHepC”;) THEN
    generic treatment AVAILABLE
    ELSE
    PAUSE
    ENDIF

    ELSE // (patient lives in low income country)

    IF (patient-earns >= 10 *average-national-income) THEN
    generic treatment AVAILABLE
    ELSE
    request bank loan
    if (patient-loan = approved) THEN
    generic treatment AVAILABLE
    ELSE
    PAUSE
    ENDIF
    ENDIF

    ENDIF

    DONE

    Homework:

    Q1. Easy. Explain in simple words the effect of the WHILE statement.

    Q2. Medium. Replace each PAUSE statement by “SLEEP X” where X is the correct number of years based on Gilead’s current patents.

    Q3. Hard. Everyone knows that GOTO statements are dangerous in computer programs. Modify the above program to eliminate the nasty GOTO statement.

    Q4. Advanced. Write a new program that does not use GOTO or PAUSE statements. Hint. You are allowed to change the unit price of the medicine and/or travel to a foreign country.
