Abstract
It is a prime characteristic of computers that individual actions can be selected, repeated, or performed conditionally depending on some previously computed results. Hence the sequence of actions performed is not always identical with the sequence of their corresponding statements. The sequence of actions is determined by control structures indicating repetition, selection, or conditional execution of given statements.
