C# - Control Statements

Control flow and program logic are of the most important parts of a programming language’s dynamic behavior. In this section, I’ll cover control flow in C#. Most of the condition and looping statements in C# comes from c and C++. Those who are familiar with java will recognize most of them, as well.

The if . . .else Statement 

The if . . .else statement is inherited from C and C++. The if . . .else statement is also known as a conditional statement. For example:

if (condition)

statement

else

statement

The if. . .section of the statement or statement block is executed when the condition is true; if it’s false, control goes to the else statement or statement block. You can have a nested if . . .else statement with one of more else blocks.

Bifurcation of Control

The break instruction.
Using break we can leave a loop even if the condition for its end is not fulfilled. It can be used to end an infinite loop, or to force it to end before its natural end. For example, we are going to stop the count down before it naturally finishes (an engine failure maybe):
// break loop example Output
#include 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, countdown aborted!
int main ()
{
int n;
for (n=10; n>0; n--)
{
cout << n << ", ";
if (n==3)
{
cout << "countdown aborted!";
break;
}
}
return 0;
