What is the primary function of the if selection statement?
What is the primary function of the if selection statement?
- It selects or ignores a single action based on a condition. (correct)
- It selects between multiple actions depending on conditions.
- It executes a series of commands sequentially.
- It repeats a set of actions until a condition is met.
Which statement correctly describes the if…else selection structure?
Which statement correctly describes the if…else selection structure?
- It allows for the execution of one action if a condition is true, and another if it is false. (correct)
- It evaluates multiple conditions simultaneously.
- It runs indefinitely until a condition is met.
- It is designed to execute a group of actions without conditions.
What distinguishes a switch selection statement from the if selection statement?
What distinguishes a switch selection statement from the if selection statement?
- A switch statement handles a single condition with multiple outcomes. (correct)
- A switch statement repeats actions until a condition is false.
- A switch statement can only choose between two specific actions.
- A switch statement provides a sequential execution of commands.

Study Notes
If…Else Selection Structure
- Allows for different actions based on a condition being true or false.
- Example: If a student's grade is >= 60, print "Passed"; otherwise, print "Failed".
Nested If…Else Statement
- Used for multiple condition checks within selection structures.
- Example structure:
- If (grade >= 70) → Print "A"
- Else if (grade >= 60) → Print "B"
- Else if (grade >= 50) → Print "C"
- Else if (grade >= 40) → Print "D"
- Else → Print "F"
Repetition Control Structures
- Enables repeated execution of code segments.
- Common repetition statements: while, do…while, for.
While Loop
- A loop that executes while a specified condition remains true.
- Condition is checked at the start; if false from the outset, the loop does not execute.
- Structure:
- while (condition) { statement(s); }
Flowcharts
- Visual representation of program flow and logic.
- Enables clear understanding of control structures like loops and conditionals.
Types of Control Structures
- Sequence Structure: Default execution in order.
- Selection Structures:
- if, if-else, switch statements.
- Repetition Structures:
- while, do/while, for loops.
Selection Control Structures
- Includes if selection statement (single action), if…else statement (double action), and switch statement (multiple actions).
Flowchart for If Statement
- Visualizes decision-making processes in programs:
- True branch executes one set of statements.
- False branch executes another or stops.
Flowchart for While Loop
- Illustrates the loop condition:
- If condition is true, execute statements; if false, exit the loop.
Do…While Control Structure
- Similar to while, but checks its condition after executing statements.
- Guarantees at least one execution.
- Syntax:
- do { statement(s); } while (condition);
Control Flow in Do…While Loop
- Control returns to the loop's start if the condition remains true.
- Loop exits when the condition evaluates to false.
