Making Selections

Represent the steps which tell the computer what to do.

• Algorithm

• Instructions

• Flowchart

• Syntax

Direct the order in which the program instructions are executed.

• Control structure

• Repetition structure

• Selection structure

• For Next

Consists of one or more statements that are executed repeatedly as long as particular condition is met.

• Control structure

• Repetition structure

• Selection structure

• Do Loop structure

Also known as decision structure that allows the program to make a decision or comparison and then select one of two paths, depending on the result of the comparison.

• Control structure

• Repetition structure

• Selection structure

• Do Loop structure

Is the simplest selection control structure which executes a statement or a group of statements based on the value of condition.

• If ElseIf Else

• Nested If Then Else

• If Then Else

• If statement

Is a selection control structure that directs the computer to perform a set of instructions based on the result of the condition.

• If ElseIf Else

• Nested If Then Else

• If Then Else

• If statement

Contains a series of decisions in which the algorithm tests a variable or expression separately for which value that the variable or expression might assume.

• Algorithm

• Control structure

• Instruction

• If statement

Is useful when you must make several choices based on data values.

• Select Case
