Control Flow & Statements

Control flow in C++ dictates the order in which statements are executed. It allows programs to make decisions, repeat actions, and execute different code blocks based on conditions. Statements like if, else if, and else enable conditional execution, while loops such as for, while, and do-while facilitate repetition. switch statements offer a multi-way branching mechanism based on the value of an expression. These constructs are fundamental for creating programs that respond dynamically to input and perform complex tasks.
