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 {}. Unlike paragraphs, statement blocks can be nested; that is, with one block inside another.

A typical statement block

int main()
{
 return 0;
}

A nested statement block

int main()
{
 int x=1;
 if(x==1)
 {
    x++;
 }
 return 0;
}
