Objectives

• Use selection and nested selection statements


• Use NOT, AND and OR when creating Boolean
expressions
• Use random number generation
Sequence and selection
Unit 7 Programming

Starter
• What are the three basic control structures used
in programming?
• What are three operators used in Boolean expressions?
Sequence and selection
Unit 7 Programming

Sequence
• The statements are executed
one by one in the order they
are written:
mark1 = 78
mark2 = 67
total = mark1 + mark2
average = total / 2
print(average)
Sequence and selection
Unit 7 Programming

Comparison expressions
• The condition average >= 80 is a
Boolean expression
• The outcome will always evaluate to TRUE or FALSE

• Comparison operators include


== equal to
!= not equal to
> greater than
< less than
• What are two other comparison operators?
• Why is = not used to mean equal to?

Unit 7 Programming

Selection
• An IF statement is a selection statement
• The next statement to be executed depends on
whether the condition being tested is True or False
if average >= 80 then
print("Distinction")
else
print("Pass")
endif
Sequence and selection
Unit 7 Programming

If statements
• If statements allow different branches to be executed
based on the result of a Boolean expression
if average >= 80 then
print("Distinction")
elseif average >= 60 then
print("Merit")
elseif average >= 40
print("Pass")
else
print("Fail")
endif

Nested if statements
• If statements may be nested:
if member == "child" then
if day == "Saturday" then
swimPrice = 2.00
else
swimPrice = 2.50
endif
else
swimPrice = 4.00
endif
• What is the price for an adult on Saturday?
• What is the price for a child on Sunday?

Complex Boolean expressions


• Boolean expressions can include the Boolean
operators AND, OR and NOT
• For example:
if (mark < 0) OR (mark > 100) then …
Operator Description

AND Returns TRUE if both conditions are TRUE

OR Returns TRUE if either of the conditions are TRUE

NOT A TRUE expression becomes FALSE and vice versa

True or False?
• Complete the table:
True or
Mark1 Mark2 Condition
False?
80 67 (mark1 >= 80) AND (mark2 >= 80)

82 80 (mark1 >= 80) OR (mark2 >= 80)

35 (mark1 > 30) OR (mark1 < 50)

65 (mark1 < 30) OR (mark1 > 80)

0 75 NOT(mark1 > 50) AND (mark2 > 50)

65 85 NOT(mark1 < 60) AND NOT (mark2 < 80)

Worksheet 2
• Now complete Task 1 on Worksheet 2
Sequence and selection

The switch/case statement


• This statement may be used when a selection is to
be made from several alternatives, for example
when choosing from a menu
switch menuChoice:
case "1":
print("You selected 1")
case "2":
print("You selected 2")
case "3":
print("You selected 3")
default:
print("This is not a valid choice")
endswitch

Unit 7 Programming

Random numbers
• Programming languages will provide a number of
built-in functions that can be used
• To use them a library may need to be imported
• For example, in Python, import random will import the
random library of functions
• A random number between 0 and 100 can then be
generated with a statement such as
random(0, 100)
In Python this would be random.randint(0, 100)
• How could you simulate the throw of a die?

Plenary
• Look at the following code:
hourlyRate = 15.50
hours = int(input("Enter hours worked this week: "))
if hours > 168 then
print("That’s impossible")
else
totalPay = hours * hourlyRate
print(totalPay)
endif
• With a partner, identify each of the following:
• A comparison operator, a Boolean expression
a selection structure, a sequence, three assignment operators,
an output statement, one mathematical operator
