Real-Life Examples of Control Structures

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔍 Sequence: Instructions are executed in the order they appear. Think of it like following a recipe step-by-step.
• 💡 Selection (if/else): Executes a block of code only if a condition is true. If the condition is false, a different block of code might execute. It's like deciding what to wear based on the weather.
• 📝 Iteration (loops): Repeats a block of code until a certain condition is met. Examples include `for` and `while` loops. Think of it as repeatedly stirring a pot until the sauce thickens.
