Chapter 3: Control Flow Statements
Control flow statements are essential for managing the execution of programs based on conditions and repetitions. Java supports various types of control flow statements, including conditional, looping, and branching statements. Each plays a crucial role in making decisions, executing repeated actions, and controlling execution flow within methods and loops.

What we have learnt
- Conditional statements (if, if-else, switch) help make decisions.
- Loops (for, while, do-while) repeat actions.
- Use break, continue, and return to control execution within loops/methods.
- Nested loops are useful for multi-level logic (like patterns or matrices).
Key Concepts
- -- Conditional Statements
- Statements that execute code only when certain conditions are met, including if, if-else, if-else-if ladder, and switch.
- -- Looping Statements
- Statements that repeat a block of code multiple times, including for, while, and do-while loops.
- -- Branching Statements
- Statements used to control the flow inside loops, such as break, continue, and return.
- -- Nested Loops
- Placing one loop inside another, often used for tasks like pattern printing.
