Control Flow in C: Mastering

Program Logic
This presentation will explore fundamental C control flow concepts,
focusing on sequencing, selection, iteration, and control transfer.

by Dharmendra Singh
Sequencing: The Default Flow and Order of Operations
Linear Execution Order Matters
Instructions are executed in the order they appear in the The sequence of instructions determines the program's
code. logic and behavior.
Selection: if, else if, and else
Statements Explained
1 The if statement executes a
2 The else if statement
block of code only if a provides alternative
condition is true. conditions to check if the
previous if or else if
conditions were false.

3 The else statement executes a block of code if all previous if and


else if conditions were false.
Example Program:
Implementing a Simple
Decision-Making Process
int main() {
int num = 5;
if (num > 0) {
printf("The number is positive.\n");
} else if (num < 0) {
printf("The number is negative.\n");
} else {
printf("The number is zero.\n");
}
return 0;
}
Iteration: for, while, and do-
while Loops Demystified
for Loop while Loop
Executes a block of code a Executes a block of code as
specified number of times. long as a condition is true.

do-while Loop
Executes a block of code at least once, and then repeatedly as long as
a condition is true.
Example Program: Calculating Factorial with Different
Loop Types
int main() { int main() { int main() {
int num = 5, factorial = 1; int num = 5, factorial = 1, i = 1; int num = 5, factorial = 1, i = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) { while (i <= num) { do {
factorial *= i; factorial *= i; factorial *= i;
} i++; i++;
printf("Factorial of %d is %d\n", } } while (i <= num);
num, factorial); printf("Factorial of %d is %d\n", printf("Factorial of %d is %d\n",
return 0; num, factorial); num, factorial);
} return 0; return 0;
} }
Control Transfer: break and
continue Statements

break continue
Terminates the loop and transfers Skips the current iteration of the
control to the statement loop and continues to the next
immediately following the loop. iteration.
Conclusion: Key Takeaways and
Best Practices for Control Flow
1 Understand Logic
Control flow structures are fundamental for structuring
program execution.

2 Choose Wisely
Select appropriate structures based on the desired
behavior and program logic.

3 Code Readability
Prioritize clear and concise code, making it easy to
understand.

4 Test Thoroughly
Thorough testing is crucial to ensure your code works as
expected.
