Structure de contrôleEn programmation informatique, une structure de contrôle est une instruction particulière d'un langage de programmation impératif pouvant dévier le flot de contrôle du programme la contenant lorsqu'elle est exécutée. Si, au plus bas niveau, l'éventail se limite généralement aux branchements et aux appels de sous-programme, les langages structurés offrent des constructions plus élaborées comme les alternatives (if, if–else, switch...), les boucles (while, do–while, for...) ou encore les appels de fonction.
Reserved wordIn a computer language, a reserved word (also known as a reserved identifier) is a word that cannot be used as an identifier, such as the name of a variable, function, or label – it is "reserved from use". This is a syntactic definition, and a reserved word may have no user-defined meaning. A closely related and often conflated notion is a keyword, which is a word with special meaning in a particular context. This is a semantic definition. By contrast, names in a standard library but not built into a language are not considered reserved words or keywords.
