Compound Statement ~ C++ and Webprogramming

Compound statement is used to group some statements. We can write compound statement between brackets. Compound statement can be used as a part of loop or branching.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
   for(int i=0;i < 5; i++)
   cout << "-" << i;
   cout << endl;
   return 0;
}

Branching and loop only use one statement if there is no brackets. There will be difference if you put 2 statements after for between brackets.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
   for(int i=0;i < 5; i++)
   {
   cout << "-" << i;
   cout << endl;
   }
   return 0;
}
