Control structures

Algorithms are built on three main control structures

Main control structures

Sequence is where one action is done after another action.

Selection is where certain actions are ran only if a condition is met.

Iteration is where certain actions are completed one after another.

Loops allow the program to loop over actions in the program either infinitely or with a set amount of loops.

Branches are where the code makes a decision based off an condition and decides whether or not to run a section of code.
