Program Plan Intro
Decision structure:
Decision structure executes a set of statement under certain conditions. It is also known as selection structure. The action is performed only when the condition exists and takes different action depending upon the state “True” or “False”. The two categories of decision structure are given as follows:
- • Single alternative decision structure
- • Dual alternative decision structure
Single alternative decision structure:
This gives only alternative path of execution. “if” statement is used to write a single alternative decision structure.
- • If the condition is “true”, it executes the statement inside the block.

- After learning the looping and input validation concepts, create a problem to give to your students to allow them to practice the looping and input validation concepts. The problem should include at least two different decision structures and a loop. The number of times to process the loop is stated in the problem definition. The decision structures should be chosen from the simple, combined, nested and CASE structures. The problem description should include: The input into the problem. The output from the problem. The generic processing necessary to solve the problem. (do not give too much information away).
