Decision Control
Looping Control
1. Decision control structures are used
to implement decisions based on
conditions. We check the condition
and allow to execute code if the
condition is found true else some
other set of code is executed. This
can be achieved using If then Else
1. Looping means iterations or
repetition of some set of code. The
same set of code can be executed
more than once on entering into
the Looping Construct.

Q.3
(a)
An event represents the state of the keyboard keys, the location of the mouse, and
the state of the mouse buttons, which occurs as the result of user interaction with an
element.
For example, when a user clicks a button, an event is generated.
Visual Basic is one example of an event driven programming language.
