3.6 Conditionals

1. Exam Points

• select the correct algorithm based on a given scenario.
• Choose between selection (if…else) and iteration (loop).
• if and if…else statements.
• Predict output of given algorithms using conditional statements.
• Understand flow charts and figure out the algorithms represented by a given flow chart.

2. Knowledge Points

(1) Conditional Statements

• Selection determines which parts of an algorithm are executed based on a condition being true or false.
• Conditional statements affect the sequential flow of control by executing different statements based on the value of a Boolean expression.
• Commonly used conditional statements:
  • if
    
    
  • if...else
