Introduction to Control Structures in C

Control structures in C are the building blocks that control the flow of a program. Without them, your program would simply execute one line after another in a fixed order. But real-world problems often need decisions and repetition—for example, choosing what to do based on a condition or performing the same task multiple times.

Why Are Control Structures Important?

Control structures allow you to:

1. Make Decisions: Decide what to do when certain conditions are met.
2. Repeat Tasks: Automate repetitive actions efficiently.
3. Control Program Flow: Handle complex logic by branching or looping.

Types of Control Structures in C

Control structures in C are mainly of three types:

1. Sequential: Executes statements in order, line by line.
2. Decision-making: Executes different blocks of code based on conditions (e.g., if, else, switch).
3. Looping: Repeats a block of code (e.g., for, while, do-while).

In upcoming posts, we’ll dive into each of these with examples to make it simple and beginner-friendly!
