Statements

6 Statements

This chapter describes the statements in the C programming language. The statements

are grouped as follows:

• Labeled Statements

• Compound Statement or Block

• Expressions and Null Statement

• Selection Statements

• Iteration Statements

• Jump Statements

Statements are the executable parts of a C function. The computer executes them in the

sequence in which they are presented in the program, except where control ﬂow is altered

as speciﬁed in this chapter.
