Flowcontrole, or control flow, is the sequence in which statements in a program are executed. In imperative languages it defines how the program moves from one operation to the next, allowing the programmer to choose different paths, repeat sections of code, or jump to different points in the program.
The main mechanisms are sequential execution, selection (if, else, switch), and iteration (for, while, do-while). Additional
Functions, recursion, and subroutines organize flow by calling other code and returning results. Some languages offer
Flow control is distinct from data flow, which tracks how data moves through transformations. Understanding control
