CONTROL STRUCTURE NOTES

1. introduction to control structures

Control structures are fundamental building blocks in programming that determine the flow or direction in which a program executes. Instead of running code line-by-line from top to bottom, control structures allow programs to make decisions, repeat actions, and choose between different actions based on conditions.

2. types of control structures

• Sequential Control Structure

• Selection (Decision-Making) Control Structure

  • if

  • if-else

  • if-elif-else (Python) / else if (C/Java)

  • switch (C/Java)

• Iteration (Looping) Control Structure

  • for loop

  • while loop

  • do-while loop
