Selection

What is selection?

Selection is when the flow of a program is changed, depending on a set of conditions
The outcome of this condition will then determine which lines or block of code is run next
Selection is used for validation, calculation and making sense of a user’s choices
There are two ways to write selection statements:
- if… then… else…
- case…

If statements

What is an if statement?

An If statements allow you to execute a set of instructions if a condition is true
They have the following syntax:

Pseudocode
`IF <condition> THEN <statement(s)> ENDIF`	`IF <condition> THEN <statement(s)> ELSE <statement(s)> ENDIF`
Without an ELSE clause	With an ELSE clause

Nested if statements

Nested if statements are an if statement within an if statement
Nested means to be ‘stored inside the other‘

Example code

IF Player2Score > Player1Score THEN IF Player2Score > HighScore THEN OUTPUT Player2, " is champion and highest scorer" ELSE OUTPUT Player2, " is the new champion" ENDIF
ELSE OUTPUT Player1, " is still the champion" IF Player1Score > HighScore THEN OUTPUT Player1, " is also the highest scorer" ENDIF
ENDIF

If statements in different languages

Python	VB.net	Java
`weather = input("What is the weather like today? (sunny, rainy, snowy): ") if weather == "sunny": print("Don't forget your sunglasses!") elif weather == "rainy": print("Take an umbrella with you.") elif weather == "snowy": print("Wear warm clothes!") else: print("Not sure what to suggest for that kind of weather.")`	Module WeatherCheck Sub Main() Dim weather As String Console.Write("What is the weather like today? (sunny, rainy, snowy): ") weather = Console.ReadLine() If weather = "sunny" Then Console.WriteLine("Don't forget your sunglasses!") ElseIf weather = "rainy" Then Console.WriteLine("Take an umbrella with you.") ElseIf weather = "snowy" Then Console.WriteLine("Wear warm clothes!") Else Console.WriteLine("Not sure what to suggest for that kind of weather.") End If Console.ReadLine() ' Keeps the console open End Sub End Module	import java.util.Scanner; public class WeatherCheck { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); String weather; System.out.print("What is the weather like today? (sunny, rainy, snowy): "); weather = scanner.nextLine(); if (weather.equals("sunny")) { System.out.println("Don't forget your sunglasses!"); } else if (weather.equals("rainy")) { System.out.println("Take an umbrella with you."); } else if (weather.equals("snowy")) { System.out.println("Wear warm clothes!"); } else { System.out.println("Not sure what to suggest for that kind of weather."); } scanner.close(); } }

elif weather == "rainy": print("Take an umbrella with you.")
elif weather == "snowy": print("Wear warm clothes!")

Case statements

What is a case statement?

A case statement can mean less code but it only useful when comparing multiple values of the same variable
If statements are more flexible and are generally used more in languages such as Python
The format of a CASE statement is:

Pseudocode
`CASE of <identifier> <value 1> : <statement1> <statement2> ... <value 2> : <statement1> <statement2> ... ... ENDCASE`	`CASE of <identifier> <value 1> : <statement1> <statement2> ... <value 2> : <statement1> <statement2> ... OTHERWISE : <statement1> <statement2> ... ENDCASE`
	An `OTHERWISE` clause can be the last clause

Pseudocode

CASE of <identifier> <value 1> : <statement1> <statement2> ... <value 2> : <statement1> <statement2> ... ...
ENDCASE

CASE of <identifier> <value 1> : <statement1> <statement2> ... <value 2> : <statement1> <statement2> ... OTHERWISE : <statement1> <statement2> ...
ENDCASE

An OTHERWISE clause can be the last clause

Example code

DECLARE Direction : STRING OUTPUT "Enter a direction (N, S, E, W):"
INPUT Direction CASE OF Direction "N" : OUTPUT "You are heading North" "S" : OUTPUT "You are heading South" "E" : OUTPUT "You are heading East" "W" : OUTPUT "You are heading West" OTHERWISE : OUTPUT "Invalid direction entered"
ENDCASE

(sunny, rainy, snowy): ") weather = Console.ReadLine() Select Case weather Case "sunny" Console.WriteLine("Don't forget your sunglasses!") Case "rainy" Console.WriteLine("Take an umbrella with you.") Case "snowy" Console.WriteLine("Wear warm clothes!") Case Else Console.WriteLine("Not sure what to suggest for that kind of weather.") End Select Console.ReadLine() ' Keeps the console open End Sub End Module	import java.util.Scanner; public class WeatherCheck { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); String weather; System.out.print("What is the weather like today?
