Language
Control structures are essential in C language for decision-making and looping.
They allow the execution of specific blocks of code based on certain
conditions.

If Statements
1 Syntax and Examples 2 Use Cases and Scenarios
The "if" statement is used to execute a "If" statements are commonly used for
block of code if a condition is true. conditionally executing code based on
Example: if (condition) statement; user input, data validation, and flow
control in programs.
Switch Statements
1 Syntax and Examples
The "switch" statement is used to select one of many code blocks to be executed. Example:
switch (expression) { case constant: statements }
Switch statements provide a more concise way to handle multiple possible conditions and
improve code readability.
While Loops
1 Syntax and Examples 2 Advantages over For Loops
The "while" loop is used to repeatedly While loops are useful when the number of
execute a block of code as long as the iterations is unknown or variable, allowing
given condition is true. Example: while dynamic control over the execution of the
(condition) { statements } loop.
For Loops
The "for" loop is used to iterate a block of For loops are commonly used to iterate
code for a specific number of times. through arrays, perform arithmetic
Example: for (initialization; condition; operations, and accomplish repetitive
increment/decrement) { statements } tasks with a known number of iterations.
Do-While Loops
1 Syntax and Examples
The "do-while" loop is used to execute a block of code first and then repeatedly execute it
as long as the given condition is true. Example: do { statements } while (condition);
Unlike while loops, do-while loops guarantee that the code block is executed at least once
before checking the condition.
Break and Continue Statements
