Study Notes

Conditional Statements

C++ provides branching (if-else, switch) to alter program flow
Conditional statements control the order of execution based on conditions
if statements execute code if a condition is true
if-else statements execute one block if true, another if false
Nested if-else allows multiple conditions
Switch case statements allow multiple choices based on a value

Looping Statements

C++ provides looping mechanisms (for, while, do-while) to repeat code blocks
for loops repeat a block of code a specific number of times
while loops repeat a block as long as a condition is true
do-while loops execute a block at least once and repeat while a condition is true
The break statement exits a loop prematurely
The continue statement skips the rest of the current iteration and proceeds to the next one of a loop

Control Statements

Control statements in C++ (if, if-else, switch, for, while, do-while) alter the normal sequential flow of execution
These statements allow for decision making and repetition.
