Home > Statement block


 

In computer programming, a statement block is a section of code which is grouped together, much like a paragraph; such blocks consist of one, or more, statements. In C, C++, and some other languages, statement blocks are enclosed by braces {}. In Ada, Pascal, and some other languages, blocks are denoted by "begin" and "end" statements. In Python they are indicated by indentation. Unlike paragraphs, statement blocks can be nested; that is, with one block inside another.
