Chapter 5 Controlling the Flow of Your Program

Control structures allow a programmer to define how and when certain statements will be executed. The most popular control structures are loops and if-then statements. Both allow to add complex functionality to your methods in a flexible and maintainable way. In this chapter, we will provide extensive coverage on how to control the flow of your program. We will first provide a short recap of comparison operators and methods. Both are frequently used in control structures which are discussed next. More specifically, we will zoom into if-then statements, for loops, while loops and switches. The chapter concludes by reviewing some additional keywords to further control the flow of your program such as return, break and continue.
