Advantages of Control Flow Statements
- Help in writing logical and structured programs.
- Allow decision making based on dynamic conditions.
- Enable code reuse and minimize redundancy.
- Simplify complex logic using nesting and loops.
- Enhance the flexibility and modularity of programs.
- Reduce execution time by skipping unnecessary parts.
Applications
- Building logic in decision-based systems like ATM software.
- Used in repetitive tasks like animations, timers, and sensors.
- Creating menu-driven applications.
- Handling exceptions and fallbacks.
- Automating testing and simulation tasks.
- Crucial for game development and real-time systems.
Limitations
- Overuse of nested control statements can reduce readability.
- goto can make the code difficult to trace and debug.
- Infinite loops can lead to crashes or memory issues.
- Misplaced break or continue can cause unexpected behavior.
- Excessive control flow logic may impact performance.
- Improper use may make code hard to maintain and scale.
