Outcomes from selection statements

Computing

Conditions in selection statements

Using conditions to build quiz questions

Designing a quiz

Testing a quiz

Evaluating a quiz

In this unit pupils will discover how to write programs that ask questions and use selection to control the outcomes based on the answers given. They will design a quiz in response to a given task and implement it as a program. They will then evaluate their programs against given criteria.

Using selection in programming to develop a quiz

What is the purpose of a condition inside a loop?

In an if... then... else... statement, what happens if the condition is not met?

The program decides if it is True or False.

The True outcome is carried out if the condition is met.

The False outcome is carried out if the condition is not met.

Sequence the events in an if... then... else... statement:

The program keeps checking a rule forever.

The program picks what to do based on a rule.

The program runs a set of actions because a rule is met.

The program repeats a group of commands several times then stops.

a statement that can be either True or False

Put these steps in order for how a selection works in a program:

What does a program do when a condition is met?

Why are conditions important in programming?

What would happen if a program only checked a condition once?
