PROBLEM SOLVING

STRUCTURES

The three control structures used in


creating algorithms are:-
1. Sequence
2. Selection/conditional
3. Iteration/Repetition/Loops
SEQUENCE

Instructions are carried out one after the


other without any decisions to be made.

EXAMPLE
START
DISPLAY ‘Please enter 2 numbers’
READ NUM1, NUM2
SUM = NUM1 + NUM2
PRINT ‘The sum is’, SUM
END
CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS

Conditional statements allow decisions


to be made in a program. This
includes deciding which statements
are to be executed if true. For
example you might want a set of
statements to execute only if certain
conditions are met; otherwise, the
statements would not be executed.
Examples of conditional
statements
◼ IF-THEN ◼ IF-THEN-ELSE
The general form The general form
of an IF-THEN of an IF-THEN-
statement ELSE statement
IF (condition) THEN IF (condition) THEN
(statement if (statement if True)
true) ELSE
ENDIF (statement if False)
ENDIF
IF-THEN Statement

Write an algorithm to show if someone is a child


once the age is under 13 years old and print
‘CHILD’.

Answer
START
Display ‘Please enter your age’
Read age
IF age < 13 THEN
Print ‘CHILD’
Endif
END
IF-THEN-ELSE Statement
