Control Flow
Control flow is a fundamental programming concept that determines the order in which statements, instructions, or function calls are executed in a program. It enables developers to create dynamic, responsive applications by controlling execution paths based on conditions, loops, and branching. This concept is implemented through constructs like conditionals, loops, and function calls across all programming languages.
Developers must master control flow to write efficient, logical, and maintainable code, as it underpins decision-making, iteration, and program structure. It is essential for implementing business logic, handling user inputs, processing data, and managing application states in scenarios ranging from simple scripts to complex systems. Without control flow, programs would execute linearly without any adaptability or responsiveness.
