| 1 | +## ⚑ Control Flow |
| 2 | +Control flow refers to the order of the statements execution in a JavaScript program. It allows to make decisions, repeat actions, and control the flow of your code based on certain conditions. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +*There are 2 Type Control Flow in JavaScript.* |

| 20 | +### ✦ Conditional Statements: |
| 21 | +It is used to execute different code blocks based on specific conditions. There are 4 type of conditional statements. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### ✦ If Statement: |
| 24 | +It executes a block of code only if a condition is true. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +*Syntax:* |
| 27 | +```javascript |
| 28 | +if (condition) { |
| 29 | + // Code to be executed if condition is true |
| 30 | +} |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +```javascript |
| 34 | +let age = 25; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +if (age >= 18) { |
| 37 | + console.log("You are an adult."); |
| 38 | +} |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### ✦ If Else Statement: |
| 42 | +It executes a block of code if the condition is true, otherwise it will execute an another block of code. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +*Syntax:* |
| 45 | +```javascript |
| 46 | +if (condition1) { |
| 47 | + // Code to be executed if condition is true |
| 48 | +} else { |
| 49 | + // Code to be executed if condition is false |
| 50 | +} |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```javascript |
| 54 | +let age = 25; |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +if (age >= 18) { |
| 57 | + console.log("You are an adult."); |
| 58 | +} else { |
| 59 | + console.log("You are a minor"); |
| 60 | +} |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### ✦ Else If Statement: |
| 64 | +It executes a block of code if the condition is true otherwise it executes another block of code when another condition is true. It also called as nested if statements. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +*Syntax:* |
| 67 | +```javascript |
| 68 | +if (condition1) { |
| 69 | + // Code to be executed if condition1 is true |
| 70 | +} else if (condition2) { |
| 71 | + // Code to be executed if condition1 is false and condition2 is true |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +```javascript |
| 76 | +let score = 85; |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +if (score >= 90) { |
| 79 | + console.log("Excellent"); |
| 80 | +} else if (score >= 80) { |
| 81 | + console.log("Good"); |
| 82 | +} else { |
| 83 | + console.log("Needs improvement"); |
| 84 | +} |
| 85 | +``` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### ✦ Switch Statement: |
| 88 | +It executes different code blocks based on the value of an expression. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +*Break statement is necessary to stop at specific case condition. Otherwise it will execute further statments as well.* |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +*Syntax:* |
| 93 | +```JavaScript |
| 94 | +switch (expression) { |
| 95 | + case value1: |
| 96 | + // Code to be executed if expression is equal to value1 |
| 97 | + break; |
| 98 | + case value2: |
| 99 | + // Code to be executed if expression is equal to value2 |
| 100 | + break; |
| 101 | + default: |
| 102 | + // Code to be executed if no case matches |
| 103 | + break; |
| 104 | +} |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +```javascript |
| 108 | +let day = "Sunday"; |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +switch (day) { |
| 111 | + case "Saturday": |
| 112 | + console.log("It's weekend!"); |
| 113 | + break; |
| 114 | + case "Sunday": |
| 115 | + console.log("It's weekend!"); |
| 116 | + break; |
| 117 | + default: |
| 118 | + console.log("It's working day!"); |
| 119 | +} |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +### ✦ Loops: |
| 124 | +Loops are used to repeatedly execute a block of code until a certain condition is met. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +*A Loop has 3 important states which are used to determine the number of times to execute.* |
| 127 | +- Iteration Initialization |
| 128 | +- Condition Check |
| 129 | +- Increment/Decrement of Iteration |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### ✦ For Loop: |
| 132 | +It executes a block of code a specified number of times. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +*For loop has iteration initialization, condition check, increment/decrement of iteration are inline.* |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +*Syntax:* |
| 137 | +```javascript |
| 138 | +for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) { |
| 139 | + // Code to be executed |
| 140 | +} |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +```javascript |
| 144 | +for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) { |
| 145 | + console.log(i); |
| 146 | +} |
| 147 | +``` |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +### ✦ For In Loop: |
| 150 | +It iterates over the properties of an object. |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +*Syntax:* |
| 153 | +```javascript |
| 154 | +for (let property in object) { |
| 155 | + // Code to be executed |
| 156 | +} |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +```javascript |
| 160 | +let person = { name: "kumar", age: 30 }; |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +for (let key in person) { |
| 163 | + console.log(key + ": " + person[key]); |
| 164 | +} |
| 165 | +``` |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +### ✦ For Of Loop: |
| 168 | +It iterates over the values of an iterable object such as arrays, strings. |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +*Syntax:* |
| 171 | +```javascript |
| 172 | +for (let value of iterable) { |
| 173 | + // Code to be executed |
| 174 | +} |
| 175 | +``` |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```javascript |
| 178 | +let fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]; |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +for (let fruit of fruits) { |
| 181 | + console.log(fruit); |
| 182 | +} |
| 183 | +``` |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +### ✦ While Loop: |
| 187 | +It executes a block of code as long as a condition is true. This kind of loop is useful for the condition is decided based on the block of code in this loop. |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +*Syntax:* |
| 190 | +```javascript |
| 191 | +while (condition) { |
| 192 | + // Code to be executed |
| 193 | + // condition is decided based on the calculation or process or execution |
| 194 | +} |
| 195 | +``` |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +```javascript |
| 198 | +let number = 5; |
| 199 | +var factorial = 1; |
| 200 | +while (number > 0) { |
| 201 | + factorial *= number; |
| 202 | + number--; |
| 203 | +} |
| 204 | +console.log(factorial); |
| 205 | +``` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +### ✦ Do While Loop: |
| 208 | +It executes a block of code at least once, then repeats as long as a condition is true. |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +*Syntax:* |
| 211 | +```javascript |
| 212 | +do { |
| 213 | + // Code to be executed |
| 214 | +} while (condition); |
| 215 | +``` |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +```javascript |
| 218 | +let number = 5; |
| 219 | +var factorial = 1; |
| 220 | +do { |
| 221 | + factorial *= number; |
| 222 | + number--; |
| 223 | +}while (number > 0); |
| 224 | +console.log(factorial); |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### ✦ Comparison: |
| 228 | +- Conditional Statements: |
| 229 | + - These statements are used to decide the flow of code or execution. |
| 230 | +- Loops: |
| 231 | + - These loops are used to execute certain process or code or statements again and again. To reduce repeated lines of code. |
