control structures - common applications

What are the most common applications of each control structure. I am trying to get at a reference along the lines of:

Control Structure  - common application

Conditions         - true / false distinction
Selections         - cas开发者_JS百科e differentiation of a few known values
Loops              - writing to / reading from lists
 do while          - unknown number of iterations
 for               - known number of iterations
 foreach           - eliminating errors in the loop house keeping arithmetic
Exceptions         - ...
Continuations      - ...
Jumps              - ...

Check code complete 2 by Steve McConnell. It contains lots of detailed information about all of these, and when to use them.
