Contrast sequences and flowcharts in UiPath with a name input and hello message, plus a flowchart that asks age and who to vote for, illustrating entry points and connections.

Learn to implement if statements and switch cases to log messages based on age and weather, using true/false conditions, default cases, and multiple switch branches.

Explore the difference between while and do while loops in UiPath, counting with a counter and logging messages. Do while runs at least once before checking.

Learn how the foreach loop iterates over an array of items, printing each shopping list item such as milk, cookies, and bread.

Explore processing a shopping list with a foreach loop and an if statement that breaks when cookies are found, exiting the loop and ending the process.

Learn how UiPath parallel activities run multiple log messages and processes at the same time, speeding automation across apps such as Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Learn to gracefully handle exceptions in UiPath by wrapping the Notepad automation in a try catch block, showing a friendly message when Notepad isn't open, and running the finally block.

Learn to enforce business rules by validating message type with a throw; ensure only sms messages pass while email or other types raise a custom exception for robust processes.

Create a global exception handler in a UiPath process to capture exceptions, log errors to the console, and retry up to three times before aborting.

Explore why data manipulation matters and how string manipulations, collections, data tables, and arrays are used to extract items, such as names, by accessing specific positions.

Explore string manipulation in UiPath using substring with start indices and lengths, and format templates with mustache-style placeholders to insert values by position.

Explore arrays by assigning a car list (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) to a variable and accessing Audi with a zero-based index (index 1), printing the result.

Explore retrieving data from a built data table in UiPath by row and column indexes or by column name, log the name and age, and extract the age value.

Identify valid vs invalid variable types in UiPath questions, noting that boolean, string, data table, and number may be tested, with numbers sometimes marked incorrect.

Explore automation concepts and techniques, learn how automation is used, describe Microsoft Excel and data table functions, Excel activities for data manipulation, and pdf data extraction using ocr.
