A compound statement is any statement that contains zero or more statements. If there is more than one statement in a compound statement, they must be enclosed in braces {}, otherwise braces are optional with the exception of function bodies (which must always be enclosed in braces, regardless of the number of statements they contain).
For example, the if statement has the following syntax:
if( expression ) statement1 [elsestatement2]
Either statement may be a compound statement containing zero or more statements (including other if statements). For instance, suppose x is a random signed integer:
if( x<=0 )
{
// Compound statement with no statements.
// The braces are optional here.
}
else if( x%2 )
{
// compound statement with one statement.
// The braces are optional here too.
std::cout << x " is odd" << std::endl;
}
else if( x >= 100)
{
// Compound statement with 2 statements.
// Braces are not optional here.
std::cout << x " is even" << std::endl;
std::cout << x " is greater than or equal to 100" << std::endl;
}
else if( x%4==0 )
{
// Compound statement with 3 statements.
// Braces are not optional here.
std::cout << x " is even" << std::endl;
std::cout << x " is less than 100 but greater than 0" << std::endl;
std::cout << x " is a multiple of 4" << std::endl;
}

Assuming you mean a code block, a group of simple statements enclosed in braces {} is regarded as a code block. In other words, a compound statement. Braces are not required around simple statements except when the statement is the body of a function (where braces are mandatory).
A simple statement ends with a semi-colon (';'). A compound statement contains one or more simple statements (with semi-colon terminators) enclosed within opening and closing braces ('{' and '}').
Statements that check an expression then may or may not execute a statement or group of statements depending on the result of the condition.
The goto statement.

If statement is single selection statement,whereas the switch statement is multiple selective.
a = b = c
The basic control structure in C++ is the if statement.
HCl is a compound, C, O, Hg are elements
A compound statement is a code block. We typically use compound statements as the body ofanother statement, such as a while statement:while (i >= 0){a[i] = x;++x;--i;}Note that all compound statements are surrounded by braces {}.
...a function call.
A compound statement consists of none or more C++ statements enclosed within a set of braces: {}. It is an essential concept in C++ and is central to the idea of nesting constructs. For example, the if statement has the form:-if ( expression ) statementwhich would severely limit its use were it not for the fact that a compound statement is itself a statement. Consequently any number of statements can be enclosed within a set of braces, including other if and compound ones, and the resulting compound statement used with the if statement. For example:-
