Control

Structures
What are Control Structures?

A part of a program that helps


decide what the program should
do next, based on certain
conditions.

There are 3 main types of control


structures:

1. Sequence
2. Selection
3. Repetition

What is Sequence?

In sequence, the steps are done


one by one, in order, from the
start to the end.

For example, imagine you are


following a recipe. You add flour first,
then sugar, then mix it. Each step
follows one after the other in a
specific order.

Everything happens in order!

What is Selection?

Selection helps you make a


choice based on a condition (like a
yes or no question).

Depending on the answer, the


program does different things.

If it's a rainy day, you go to the library.


If it's not rainy, you go to the
playground. The program decides
where to go based on the weather.

Flowchart Symbol for Selection

The decision box is a diamond


shape.

It helps ask a question.

If the answer is Yes, the


program follows one path.

If the answer is No, it follows


another path.

Repetition

Repetition means repeating a set


of instructions until a condition is
met.

This is like saying, "Do something


over and over until something
happens.

If you’re cleaning your room, you


pick up one toy, and then you
keep picking up toys one by one
until the room is clean.
