If Then Else

1) The document discusses control structures in algorithms and programs, specifically selection structures like IF-THEN and IF-THEN-ELSE. 2) IF-THEN-ELSE allows a program to do one thing if a condition is true, and another if the condition is false. 3) An example is provided of an algorithm that accepts a number as input, and prints "Yes" if the number is 5, or "No" if the number is not 5.

Algorithms & Programs

If-THEN-ELSE
Standard
• EK 4.1.2G Every algorithm can be constructed using only sequencing,
selection and iteration

There are three control


structures
Control Structures
• Sequential means each line is executed line by line
• Selection means the program will do something based on a condition
• Iteration means a command is repeated multiple times
Let’s Recap
• In lesson 7 we learnt that programs can be used to perform actions based on a given condition.
• We were introduced to IF-THEN constructs.
• In IF THEN constructs A thing may be done if the condition is true

• For example:
PRINT “Enter the price”
INPUT price
IF price > 60 THEN
dis=10/100*price
Newprice=price-dis
PRINT “The new price is”, Newprice
ENDIF
Recap Cont’d
• Noticed that the 10% discount will only be given if the price is greater
than 60.
Key Points
• In this lesson we will examine IF-THEN- ELSE construct.
• With this construct something may happen if a condition is achieved and
another thing may occur if the same condition is not achieved.
• The format for IF-THEN-ELSE is:

• IF (condition) THEN
• Do something
• ELSE
• Do another something
• ENDIF
Let’s examine the Construct closer.
• Write an algorithm that accepts a number. If the number is 5 print
“Yes” otherwise print “No”.

I P O
num 1) PRINT “Enter a Yes or No
number”
2) INPUT num
3) IF num=5 THEN
4) PRINT “Yes”
5) ELSE
6) PRINT “No”
7) ENDIF
Pseudocode
START
DECLARE num as INTEGER
PRINT “Enter a number”
INPUT num
IF num=5 THEN
PRINT “Yes”
ELSE
PRINT “No”
ENDIF
STOP
Flowchart
START

INPUT num

If Yes
No
num=
5

PRINT “No” PRINT “Yes”

STOP
Conclusion
• Two types of Selection is IF-THEN and IF-THEN-ELSE
• IF-THEN is used when there is only ONE possible outcome if a
condition met
• IF-THEN-ELSE is used one of two things may occur based on the
condition in a program.
