    THE DECISION MAKING

    IN PROGRAMMING
    MR. ANGELITO G.
    SALAC
    ICT INSTRUCTOR
    •Decision making process is an important part of
    programming because it can solve practical problems
    intelligently and provide effective output to the user.
    Programs that can ask the computer to perform certain
    task until a certain condition is met.
    •Decision making structures require that the programmer
    specifies one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested
    by the program, along with a statement or statements to
    be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and
    optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition
    is determined to be false.
    Conditional Operators
    Conditional Operators are
    powerful tools that resemble OPERATOR DESCRIPTION

    mathematical operators. They = EQUAL TO


    > GREATER THAN
    allow a Visual Basic program < LESS THAN

    to compare data values and >= GREATER THAN


    EQUAL TO

    decide what actions to take, <= LESS THAN EQUAL TO


    <> NOT EQUAL TO
    whether to execute a program
    or to terminate the program
    and more.
    LOGICAL OPERATORS

    Logical Operators are used OPERATOR DESCRIPTION


    to make more than one And Both sides must be true
    Or One side or other must be
    comparison before a true
    Xor One side or other must be
    decision can be made and an true but not both
    Not Negates true
    action take.
    IF Statement

    The IF Statement is the simplest control flow structure.


    It is used to ask the computer to perform an action
    specified by VB expressions, if the condition is true.
    But when the condition is false, no action will be
    performed.
    THE IF CONDITIONS
    THE IF…THEN
    STATEMENT

    • An If…statement consists of a Syntax:


    Boolean expression followed If condition Then
    by one or more statements. VB Expression
    End If
    EXAMPLE 1: IF…STATEMENT

    Dim myNumber As Integer


    myNumber = TextBox1.Text
    If myNumber > 100 Then
    Label2.Text = “The number is greater than 100”
    End If
    THE IF…THEN…ELSE…
    STATEMENT

    •An If...Then statement can be Syntax:


    followed by an optional Else If condition Then
    statement, which executes when
    VB Expression
    the Boolean expression is false.
    Else
    VB Expression
    End If
    EXAMPLE 1: IF…THEN… ELSE… STATEMENT

    Dim myNumber As Integer


    myNumber = TextBox1.Text
    If myNumber > 100 Then
    Label2.Text = “The number is Greater Than 100”
    Else
    Label2.Text = “The number is Less Than 100”
    End If
    THE IF…ELSE LADDER
    STATEMENT
    Syntax:
    • The if-else if-else statement is an extension If condition1 Then
    to the if-else statement. It is used in the
    VB Expression
    scenario where there are multiple cases to be
    performed for different conditions. If a Else if condition2 Then
    condition is true then the statements VB Expression
    defined in the if block will be executed,
    Else if condition3 Then
    otherwise if some other condition is true
    then the statements defined in the else-if VB Expression
    block will be executed, at the last if none of Else
    the condition is true then the statements
    defined in the else block will be executed. VB Expression
    End If
    EXAMPLE 1: IF… ELSE LADDER STATEMENT
    Dim Mark As Integer
    Dim Grade As String
    Mark = Textbox1.Text
    If Mark >= 80 Then
    Grade = “A”
    Label1.Text = Grade
    ElseIf Mark >= 60 And Mark < 80 Then
    Grade = “B”
    Label1.Text = Grade
    ElseIf Mark >= 40 And Mark < 60 Then
    Grade = “C”
    Label1.Text = Grade
    Else
    Grade = “D”
    Label1.Text = Grade
    End If
    THE SELECT-CASE
    STATEMENT
    THE SELECT-CASE
    STATEMENT
    Syntax:
    • The Select-Case control structure is somewhat Select Case test expression
    Case Expression list 1
    different from the if…else… Ladder control
    Block of one or more VB
    structure. It only makes a decision on one expression Statements
    or dimension, while the if…else… ladder statement Case Expression list 2

    may evaluate all given expressions. In addition, each Block of one or more VB
    Statements
    if…else… ladder statement may also compute
    Case Expression list 3
    entirely different dimensions. The Select Case is Block of one or more VB
    preferred when there exist many different conditions, Statements

    such as using if…else…ladder statements that could Case Expression list 4


    Block of one or more VB
    be too messy in the program.
    Statements
    End Select
    EXAMPLE 1: SELECT CASE STATEMENT
    Dim mark As Single
    mark = Textbox1.Text

    Select Case mark


    Case 0 To 49
    Label1.Text = “Need to work harder”
    Case 50 To 64
    Label1.Text = “Average”
    Case 65 To 79
    Label1.Text = “Above Average”
    Case 80 To 94
    Label1.Text = “Good”
    Case Else
    Label1.Text = “Excellence”
    End Select
