Multi-decision branch is for?
Switch/case

Conditional branches
Single-decision branch
if/else
This allow the programmer to alter the flow of a program control.
Branch statements
These branches are direct branches which involve no decision. The goto statement is an example of an unconditional branch.
Unconditional branches
An ability to repetitively execute a set of statements.
Iterative Statement
Execute-before-test. The body of the loop is always executed at least once.
do-while statement

while and for statements
similar to break statement, except it does not cause the loop to terminate. Rather it causes the loop to be continued.
Continue Statement
These are used to interrupt the normal flow of loops and the switch
statement.
Break & Continue Statement

Continue Statement
This statement interrupts the normal sequential flow of a program, without involving a decision.
