An Introduction to Control Structures

Introduction

Control structures can be thought of as blocks of code that determine or dictate the flow in which statements (lines of code) are executed; they are basically statements that control the flow of code (control flow statements). For instance, a block of code can flow in a sequential manner where a control structure ensures its statements are executed sequentially. A block of code can also flow in an iterative manner where there are control structures that ensure its statements are executed iteratively.
