JavaScript is a multi-paradigm, dynamic language with types and operators, standard built-in objects, and methods. Its syntax is based on the Java and C languages \u2014 many structures from those languages apply to JavaScript as well. JavaScript supports object-oriented programming with object prototypes, instead of classes. JavaScript also supports functional programming \u2014 functions are objects, giving functions the capacity to hold executable code and be passed around like any other object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A control structure, as the term implies, refers to the flow of execution of the program. There are two possible control structures: linear and nonlinear. The linear execution (also called sequential execution) refers to the execution of the statements in the order they are listed. In comparison, the non-linear execution refers to the execution of statements regardless of the order they are listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
