Control statements are statements that alter the sequence of flow of instructions.
Types of control statements:
1. Selection statement: The selection statement means the statement (s) executed, depends upon a condition. If a condition is true, a true block (a set of statements) is executed otherwise a false block is executed. This statement is also called decision statement or selection statement because it helps in making decision about which set of statements are to be executed.
Example:
1. If
2. Switch
