Control Statement

Control Statements are elements in source code that control the flow of program execution. 

Types of Control Statement:

1.       Selection

2.       Loop 

1.       Selection

a.        If Statement

b.       Switch statement

a.       If Statement:

It selects a statement for execution based on the value of a Boolean expression. Mentioned its types below,

a.        Simple If   Statement.

b.       if – else Statement.

c.        Else – If  Statement.

Simple If statement:

        using System;

    public class IfTest

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            Console.Write("Enter a character: ");

            char c = (char)Console.Read();

            if (Char.IsLetter(c))

                if (Char.IsLower(c))

                    Console.WriteLine("The character is lowercase.");

        }

    }

if-else Statement:

    using System;

    public class IfTest

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            Console.Write("Enter a character: ");

            char c = (char)Console.Read();

            if (Char.IsLetter(c))

                if (Char.IsLower(c))

                    Console.WriteLine("The character is lowercase.");

                else

                    Console.WriteLine("The character is uppercase.");

            else

                Console.WriteLine("The character is not an alphabetic character.");

        }

    }

else-if Statement:

    using System;

    public class IfTest

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            Console.Write("Enter a character: ");

            char c = (char)Console.Read();

 

            if (Char.IsUpper(c))

                Console.WriteLine("The character is uppercase.");

            else if (Char.IsLower(c))

                Console.WriteLine("The character is lowercase.");

            else if (Char.IsDigit(c))

                Console.WriteLine("The character is a number.");

            else

                Console.WriteLine("The character is not alphanumeric.");

        }

    }

 

b.       Switch Statement:

    The switch statement is a control statement that handles multiple selections by passing control to one of the case statements within its body using System;

   class SwitchTest

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Coffee sizes: 1=Small 2=Medium 3=Large");

            Console.Write("Please enter your selection: ");

            string s = Console.ReadLine();

            int n = int.Parse(s);

            int cost = 0;

            switch (n)

            {

                case 1:

                    cost += 25;

                    break;

                case 2:

                    cost += 25;

                    goto case 1;

                case 3:

                    cost += 50;

                    goto case 1;

                default:

                    Console.WriteLine("Invalid selection. Please select 1, 2, or 3.");

                    break;

            }

            if (cost != 0)

                Console.WriteLine("Please insert {0} cents.", cost);

            Console.WriteLine("Thank you for your business.");

        }

    }

 

 

c.        Control Statement-Loop

a.        While Statement

b.       Do-While Statement

c.        For Statement

d.       Foreach Statement

For each example:

       foreach (data-type variable1 in collection-variable)

      {

         statement[s];

      }

The foreach loop will be iterated for each and every element contained in the collection one at a time.

Variable1 is used to represent the current element during a given iteration.

The foreach iteration is forward only. That is, once the iteration moves to the next element 

then we cannot visit the previous element.This is because no index variable is used to 

access the elements of the collection and the iteration is implicit.

The foreach iteration is read only. That is, we cannot change the value of an element during iteration

     int[]arr = new int[5]{ 10, 20, 30, 40, 50};

     int count = 1;

     foreach(int v in arr)

     {

        Console.Write(v + "");  //v = count;  not possible        

        count = count + 1;

      }

Output: 10 20 30 40 50

Thanks, Nice article for the control statements. But not that much readable.
