Study Notes
Control Structures: The Brains of Code
- Control structures are fundamental building blocks in programming, directing the flow of execution within a program.
- They allow programmers to dictate how a program runs - which statements execute when, and how many times.
-
Iteration or Looping structures, like
forandwhileloops, are primarily used for repeated execution of a block of code. -
Conditional statements, like
if...else, use conditions to determine which block of code to execute. - Functions, while important program components, are not considered control structures.
- A key characteristic of control structures: they determine the logic and order of statement execution in a program.
