Control structures are programming constructs that determine the flow of execution in a program. They allow you to make decisions and repeat actions based on certain conditions.
Think of control structures as traffic signals on a road. Just like traffic signals control the flow of vehicles, control structures control the flow of instructions in a program.
Loops: Loops are control structures that allow you to repeat a block of code multiple times until a certain condition is met.
Conditional Statements: Conditional statements are control structures that execute different blocks of code based on whether a specific condition is true or false.
Branching: Branching is a type of control structure that allows your program to take different paths or branches based on certain conditions.
