                     LOGICAL THINKING AND DECISION MAKING

                     Logical thinking is when you make decisions based on facts and rules, not feelings
                     or guesses. While solving a maths problem or following a set of rules in a game,

                     logical thinking is always used.

                     Example:

                       Not logical (feelings/guess): "I think it will rain because I feel sad today."

                       Logical (facts/rules): "The weather app says 80% rain and dark clouds are in the
                        sky. So, I will take an umbrella.”

                     One of the  most  important  elements  in algorithmic  thinking  is  the  decision.
                     Sometimes, you need to choose between options. This is called decision making.

                     For example, deciding what to wear.

                       If it is raining → Wear a raincoat.

                       If it is sunny → Wear light clothes.

                     These are called  conditions (if–then statements).  Conditions are used  to  make
                     decisions  based  on specific  situations.  They  help in deciding  the  action  to  take

                     depending on whether the condition is true or false.

                     Algorithm:

                     Step 1   Start

                     Step 2   Check if it is raining

                     Step 3   If YES → Take an umbrella
                     Step 4   If NO → Do not take an umbrella

                     Step 5   End

                                       If P stands for ‘+’, Q stands for ‘-’, R stands for ‘x’ and S stands for ‘÷’ then

                                       18 R 14 P 6 Q 16 S 4 is                .
