Control Structures in C | Control statements in C | Selection statements in C | Types of Looping in C

Control structure can be used to alter the normal flow of a program depending upon some Condition.

Control structures can be categorized into three types:

• Selection Statements
• Iterative/Looping Statements
• Jumping Statements

1. Selection statements in C

Selection statements are used to execute a particular set of statements depending upon a Condition. They are of two types:

• if statement
• switch statement
  

2. Iterative / Looping statements in C

Iterative statements are also known as looping statements. They are used to repeat same set of statements again and again depending upon a condition.

Iterative statements are of three types:

• for statement
• while statement
• do while statement

 

3. Jumping statements in C 

Jumping statements are used to transfer the control of program from one point to another within the program. There are four types of jumping statements in C .

• break
• continue
• goto
