Explanation

In programming, branching refers to making decisions based on certain conditions, which alters the flow of execution within a program. When a software developer needs to modify code to accommodate specific conditions, like the needs of the finance department, branching is applied. This allows the program to execute different sections of code depending on the circumstances (e.g., "if-else" statements). It is one of the core concepts for modifying or adapting existing programs for different functional requirements.
