Chapter 5, Problem 1EPE

Program Plan Intro

To define 'flow of control'.

Program Description Answer

'Flow of control' is defined as the execution order of program.

Explanation of Solution

The flow of control is generally sequential. Thus, when statement 1 is finished to execute then control passes to statement 2 of the same program.Or, in non-sequential control flow, special statements called as control structures,are used to transfer control to any statement other than the next statement.

Example program:

//header file
#include <iostream>
//namespace incusion
usingnamespace std;
//main function
intmain()
{
//flow of control
cout<<"statement 1"<<endl;
cout<<"statement 2"<<endl;
cout<<"statement 3"<<endl;
cout<<"statement 4"<<endl;
return 0;
}
