IF-THEN-ELSE Statement

The IF-THEN-ELSE conditional statement checks a condition and does one thing if it's true, another if
it's false.

The syntax of the IF-THEN-ELSE statement is as follows:
Start
If Test expression Then

Body of if

Else
Test False Body of else
Body of else Expression
For example, to determine whether marks obtained are
40 or more, otherwise, the result is Fail.
True
Start
Body of if
Input number marks
IF marks > 40 Then

Print "Pass"
Stop
Else

Print "Fail"
End
The pseudocode checks if the marks obtained are greater than or equal to 40. If this condition is true,
it displays Pass; otherwise, it displays Fail". This is done using an IF-THEN-ELSE conditional statement to
make the decision based on the given marks.

Using Multiple Conditions

Sometimes, a decision depends on more than one condition. In such cases, we use logical operators like
AND, OR, and NOT to combine multiple conditions in a single IF statement. We need logical operators
when we want to check more than one condition at the same time in a program. They help us combine
multiple conditions and make smarter decisions.

For example: The pseudocode sets age to 14 and score to 60. It checks if age is greater than 12 and
score is greater than 80. Since only the age condition is true, the message "Eligible for Scholarship" is
not displayed.

Start
Set age = 14

Set score = 60
IF age > 12 AND score > 80 Then
Print "Eligible for Scholarship"

End
