Concept explainers
A __________ structure executes a set of statements only under certain circumstances.
- a. sequence
- b. circumstantial
- c. decision
- d. Boolean
The structure which executes statements under certain conditions is called as a decision structure.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Decision structure:
- Decision structure executes a set of statements 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”.
Example for decision structure:
“if” statement:
“if” statement is used to make a decision structure, which permits the program to hold more than one path of execution.
- The indented statement is executed only when the condition is “true”.
- If the given condition is “false”, it skips the indented statements.
Syntax for “if” statement:
if condition:
indented_statement_block
Explanation for incorrect options:
Sequence:
Simplest form of control structure is the sequence structure. It is a group of statements that are executed in the order in which they appear.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Circumstantial:
Circumstantial structure does not execute the statements under certain conditions.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
Boolean:
The Boolean expression evaluates the statement as either “True” or “False” with the help of “if” statement.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt: Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO. (You can access the Computer Science Portal at www.pearsonhighered.com/gaddis.)arrow_forward
