Programming forms the core of Systems Engineering, playing a crucial role in
the development of efficient and robust software. This course delves into the
fundamental concepts that lay the groundwork for empowering students to
create logical algorithms and make informed decisions in their programs.
Introduction to Simple Decision
Structure

1 What is Simple Decision Structure?

The Simple Decision Structure, known as the "if" statement, is a critical pillar in
programming. It allows a program to make decisions based on the evaluation of a condition.
In Systems Engineering, this capability is vital to adapt program behavior according to
circumstances.

Double Decision Structure and
Nested Decision Structure
1 Double Decision Structure
The Double Decision Structure extends
the capabilities of the simple structure
by adding an alternative code block that
executes if the condition is not met,
using the "else" keyword.
2 Nested Decision Structure
The nested decision structure takes
decision-making to a deeper level by
including one or more decision
structures within others, addressing
more complex situations requiring
sequential evaluation of conditions.

Engineering
Control of Embedded Systems
Flow
In embedded systems, these structures
are essential for precise control. For
example, in a temperature control system,
they could be used to activate or
deactivate cooling devices based on the
temperature.
Data Filtering in Database
Applications
In database management, these
structures are crucial for building SQL
queries that select records based on
specific criteria. For instance, selecting
customers with billing exceeding a certain
value.
