+// &#128204; JavaScript Basics - Control Structures
+
+// Welcome to the fourth section of the JavaScript Basics tutorial!
+// Here, you'll learn about control structures used to manage the flow of a program.
+
+// &#128260; Conditional Statements
+// if, else if, else
+let age = 18;
+if (age < 18) {
+  console.log("You are a minor.");
+} else if (age === 18) {
+  console.log("You just became an adult!");
+} else {
+  console.log("You are an adult.");
+}
+
+// &#128257; Looping Structures
+
+// for loop - Executes a block of code a fixed number of times
+for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
+  console.log("Iteration:", i);
+}
+
+// while loop - Executes while a condition is true
+let count = 0;
+while (count < 3) {
+  console.log("While loop count:", count);
+  count++;
+}
+
+// do-while loop - Executes at least once, then repeats while condition is true
+let number = 0;
+do {
+  console.log("Do-while count:", number);
+  number++;
+} while (number < 3);
+
+// &#127919; Switch Statement - A cleaner way to handle multiple conditions
+let day = "Monday";
+switch (day) {
+  case "Monday":
+    console.log("Start of the week!");
+    break;
+  case "Friday":
+    console.log("Weekend is near!");
+    break;
+  default:
+    console.log("It's a regular day.");
+}
+
+// &#128161; Practice using these control structures in different scenarios!
