Control Statements in C++

Control Statements in C++

The control statements enable us to specify the order in which the various instructions in a program are to be executed by the computer. They determine the flow of control in a program.

There are 4 types of control statements in C. They are:

1. Sequence control statements

Sequence Control statements ensure that the instructions in a program are executed in the same order in which they appear in the program.

2. Decision control statements or conditional statement

Decision and Case Control statements allow the computer to take decision as to which statement is to be executed next. C++ has three major decision-making statements.

• if statement
• If_else statement
• Nesting of if else Statement

3. Case control statements

Case Control statements also allow the computer to take decision as to which statement is to be executed next.

• Switch statement

4. Repetition or loop control statements

The Loop Control statement helps the computer to execute a group of statements repeatedly.

There are three types of loops in C++:

• for loop
• while loop
• do-while loop
