Decision Structure

Programs that need

the computer to
make a decision
require the use of the
selection structure
(also called the
decision structure)
 Decision Structure

The Decision structure indicates that a

decision (based on some condition) needs to
be made, followed by an appropriate action
derived from that decision.
 Conditional Statement

Selection structure uses conditional

statement because it executes only if the
value of the relational expression is true. If
the value of the relational expression is
false, then the conditional statement is not
executed.

Relational Operators
A relational operator determines whether a
specific relationship exists between two values.
 Logical Operators

Logical operators connect two or more

relational expressions into one or reverse the
logic of an expression.
 Logical Operators
Logical AND operator
It takes two Boolean expressions as operands and
creates a Boolean expression that is true only when
both subexpressions are true.
 Logical Operators
Logical OR operator
It takes two Boolean expressions as operands and
creates a Boolean expression that is true when either
of the subexpressions is true.
 Logical Operators
Logical NOT operator
It is a unary operator that takes a Boolean
expression as its operand and reverses its logical
value.
