Control Structures in Scala

Introduction

Control structures can be thought of as blocks of code which determine or dictate the flow in which statements (lines of code) are executed; they basically control the flow of code. For instance, a block of code can flow in a sequential manner and there is a control structure which ensures its statements are executed sequentially. A block of code can also flow in an iterative manner and there are control structures which ensure its statements are executed iteratively.
