Chapter 6 Statements

This chapter describes the statements in the C programming language.

The statements are grouped as follows:

Labeled Statements.
Compound Statement or Block.
Expressions and Null Statement.
Selection Statements.
Iteration Statements.
Jump Statements.

Statements are the executable parts of a C function. The computer executes them in the sequence in which they are presented in the program, except where control flow is altered as specified in this chapter.

Syntax

statement ::=
   labeled-statement
   compound-statement
   expression-statement
   selection-statement

   jump-statement

Example

 labl: x=y;
 { int x; x=y; }
 x=y;
 if (x<y) x=y;
 for (i=1; i<10; i++) a[i]=i;
 goto labl;
