Programming basics[1]

A conditional statement evaluates an expression and executes instructions depending on the outcome of the evaluation. Conditionals depend on operators to evaluate if an expression is true or false. A condition and selection are not the same thing. A condition asks a question. A selection processes the answer.

With gratitude to and permission from Stephen Hughes (Coe College) and Philip East (University of Northern Iowa)[2], The list below is an example of types of conditional questions. You should start thinking about conditions in plain english before you start thinking about operators.

  • Match
  • Threshold
  • Range
  • One-of
  • Not-match
  • Not one of
  • All of
  • Some of
  • Eligible

A video[edit]

This video references the C programming language and scratch, but the ideas about conditionals are excellent.
