Control statements (or) Control Structures

                     C is a structured programming language. One of the reasons for this is having various program control statements. C process the decision making capabilities and supports the statements known as control statements.

                    C supports three types of control statements. They are :

                                1. Conditional Control statements.

                                2. Unconditional Control statements.

                                3. Loop Control statements.

1. Conditional Control statements:

                    C Supports five types of conditional control statements.

                    They are 

                            1)  simple if statement

                            2)  if-else statement

                            3)  Nested if statement

                            4)  else-if statement

                            5)  switch statement

2. Unconditional Control statements:

                    C supports three types of unconditional control statements

                    They are 

                            1) break

                            2) continue

                            3) goto

3. Loop control statements:

        Loop:

                The process of repeatedly executing a block of statements up to specified number of times is called as loop.

                    C supports three types of looping statements. 

                    They are :

                            1)  while loop

                            2)  do-while loop

                            3)  for loop
