1. Flow of Control and Sequence Execution

  • The order of execution of statements in a program is called flow of control.
  • Sequence execution means statements run one after another from beginning to end.
  • Control structures are used to change the normal sequential flow.

  • Repetition of statements is also called iteration.
  • Looping constructs make repetition possible in programs.
  • The condition in a loop is checked based on the value of the loop's control variable.
