C++ statements are the program elements that control how and in what order objects are manipulated. This section includes:
-
Categories of Statements
-
Expression statements. These statements evaluate an expression for its side effects or for its return value.
-
Null statements. These statements can be provided where a statement is required by the C++ syntax but where no action is to be taken.
-
Compound statements. These statements are groups of statements enclosed in curly braces ({ }). They can be used wherever a single statement may be used.
-
Selection statements. These statements perform a test; they then execute one section of code if the test evaluates to true (nonzero). They may execute another section of code if the test evaluates to false.
-
Iteration statements. These statements provide for repeated execution of a block of code until a specified termination criterion is met.
-
Jump statements. These statements either transfer control immediately to another location in the function or return control from the function.
-
Declaration statements. Declarations introduce a name into a program. (Declarations and Definitions provides more detailed information about declarations.)

For information on exception handling statements see Exception Handling.
