Control St.

The document outlines three main programming concepts: selection statements for decision making, iteration statements for looping through code, and jump statements for altering the flow of execution. It provides examples of each type, such as 'if', 'for', and 'break', explaining their usage in practical scenarios. Additionally, it includes code snippets to illustrate how these concepts are implemented in programming.

Selection Statements (Decision Making)

These allow your program to choose a path based on a condition.

• if / else if / else: Executes a block if a condition is true.

• switch: Best for comparing a single variable against a list of constant values (like
a menu).

2. Iteration Statements (Loops)

These repeat a block of code multiple times.

• while: Repeats as long as a condition is true. Checks the


condition before running the code.

• do-while: Similar to while, but checks the condition after running the code,
ensuring it runs at least once.

• for: Ideal when you know exactly how many times you want to loop. It bundles
initialization, condition, and increment in one line.

• Range-based for: A modern way (C++11+) to easily iterate through every


element in a collection like an array or vector.

3. Jump Statements

These force the program to "jump" to another part of the code.

• break: Immediately exits the current loop or switch.

• continue: Skips the rest of the current loop iteration and moves to the next one.

• return: Exits the current function and optionally sends back a value.

1. Decision Making (Selection)

This is your program asking a question.

• if: "If it is raining, take an umbrella."

• else: "...otherwise, wear sunglasses."

• switch: Like a vending machine. You press button A, you get a soda; button B,
you get water. It's a faster way to handle many specific choices.

2. Repeating Tasks (Loops)

This is for when you don't want to write the same line of code 100 times.

• for: "Do 10 pushups." (You know exactly how many to do before you start).
• while: "Keep scrubbing the floor while it's still dirty." (You don't know how
long it will take, you just check the condition repeatedly).

• do-while: "Eat a slice of pizza, then check if you're still hungry." (You always
do the action at least once).

3. Cutting in Line (Jump Statements)

These are your "emergency exits."

• break: "I'm in the middle of a workout, but I feel a sharp pain—stop


everything and leave the gym now."

• continue: "I'm cleaning the house; I'll skip the guest room because it's
already clean, but I'll keep cleaning the rest of the rooms."

How it looks in code:

cpp

int energy = 5;

if (energy > 0) {

for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {

cout << "Doing lap number " << i << endl;

} else {

cout << "Time to sleep!";
