    Selection Logic

    Uploaded by

    Jabari Vialva
    This document discusses using selection logic to solve problems that require testing a condition and taking different courses of action based on whether the condition is true or false. It defines logical tests as those that have a yes or no answer, using relational operators to compare values. Pseudocode is used to represent the conditional structure, with an IF statement to check the logical test, THEN and ELSE blocks to specify the code paths, and ENDIF to mark the end. Two example problems are provided to demonstrate creating an IPO chart and pseudocode algorithm that uses selection logic to check a condition and print different outputs accordingly.

    SELECTION LOGIC

    Solving Problems using Selection Logic (I.P.O. Chart and Pseudocode Algorithm)
    Selection Logic
    ◦ We have learnt to solve problems using sequence /straight line
    logic -solutions whose statements are executed in a sequence from
    the first to the last.

    ◦ Now we would learn to solve problems that would use selection


    logic – solutions that would test some condition and take different
    courses of action based on whether the condition is true or false .
    Conditional Structure
    ◦ Decisions in a solution are written in a more formal way.

    ◦ They are written as a conditional structure.

    ◦ A conditional structure depend on Logical Tests.

    Logical test/Condition
    ◦ A Logical test is one that has the answer yes or no, or true or false.

    ◦ ‘How old are you?’ is not a logical test, because it can have many different
    answers.

    ◦ ‘Are you under 20?’ is a logical test, because it has the answer yes or no.

    Just Click for the Caribbean 3rd Edition Howard Lincoln, Alison Page Et al.
    Logical test
    ◦ Logical test use a relational operator to compare two values.
    Relational Operators Meaning

    = equals to

    <>  not equal to

    >  greater than

    >= greater than or equal to

    <  less than

    <= less than or equal to

    ◦ The comparison gives a yes/no response which decides which of two actions is taken.

    Decisions
    In pseudocode, the conditional structure begins with the words:

    If … then

    The Logical test goes between the words ‘If’ and ‘then’.

    If <<Logical test>> then

    Just Click for the Caribbean 3rd Edition Howard Lincoln, Alison Page Et al.
    Decisions
    The instruction(s) that need(s) to be executed if the Logical Test is true is inserted on the next line but indented.
    The indentation shows the instruction(s) that need to be executed if the condition is met.

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement if Logical Test is true>>

    OR

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is true>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is true>>
    Decisions
    Else comes next

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement if Logical Test is true>>
    Else

    OR

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is true>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is true>>
    Else
    Decisions
    The instruction(s) that need(s) to be executed if the Logical Test is false is inserted on the next line but indented. The indentation
    shows the instruction(s) that need to be executed if the condition is not met.

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement if Logical Test is true>>
    Else
    <<Statement if Logical Test is false>>

    OR
    If <<Logical test>> then
    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is true>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is true>>
    Else
    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is false>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is false>>
    Decisions
    The word EndIf (or End If) indicates the end of the conditional structure

    If <<Logical test>> then


    <<Statement if Logical Test is true>>
    Else
    <<Statement if Logical Test is false>>
    EndIf

    OR
    If <<Logical test>> then
    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is true>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is true>>
    Else
    <<Statement#1 if Logical Test is false>>
    …
    <<Statement#last if Logical Test is false>>
    EndIf
    Let Us Create a Pseudocode Solution With A Problem

    Problem-
    Write a program that accepts a student’s mark. If the mark is greater
    than or equal to 50 the student passes and fails if their mark is less
    than 50. This program must print if the student passed or failed.
    I.P.O. Chart/Defining Diagram
    Input Processing Output

    A student’s mark (1) Read a student’s mark. Message either

      (2) Determine if the student Student passed


    passed or failed. or
    Student failed
    (3) Print appropriate
    message either student
    passed or student failed.

    ACTIVITIES
    Activity #1
    Problem-
    Write a program could tell a user whether they are old enough to learn how to drive a car. If the user's age
    meets the required driving age which is 17 years old the program would print the Message You are old
    enough to drive a car. Otherwise, it would print the Message You are not old enough to drive a car.

    Create the I.P.O. Chart First


    Then Create the Pseudocode Algorithm
    Activity #2
    Problem-
    Write a program that accepts two whole numbers. It then determines which number is larger and prints the
    larger number of the two numbers.

    Create the I.P.O. Chart First


    Then Create the Pseudocode Algorithm
    THE END
