5) Conditionnal Structures - Sequential If Vs Nested If

The document discusses the differences between sequential if and nested if structures in programming, particularly in displaying the sign of an integer. It provides examples of correct and incorrect implementations of these structures and explains the number of action blocks that can be executed in each case. The conclusion highlights when to use each structure based on the situation at hand.

Algorithmic I Ch 3: Conditional structures – 5) Sequential If Vs Nested if 2023-2024

Sequential If Vs Nested if
Problem : These three portions are supposed to display the sign of an integer number x, are
they correct ?
If (x˃0) then Print(ˮx is positiveˮ); Correct
Else If (x<0) then Print(ˮx is negativeˮ);
Else Print(ˮx is nullˮ);
Endif;
Endif;
If (x˃0) then Print(ˮx is positiveˮ); Endif; Correct
If (x<0) then Print(ˮx is negativeˮ);
Endif;
If (x=0) then Print(ˮx is nullˮ); Endif;
If (x˃0) then Print(ˮx is positiveˮ); Endif; Incorrect, beasause it display on the screen :
If (x<0) then Print(ˮx is negativeˮ); x is positive
Else Print(ˮx is nullˮ); x is null
Endif;

How many action blocks can be executed in each portion?


If ( Cond1) then
Block of Actions1;
Else
If (Cond2) then
Block of Actions2;
Else
If (Cond3) then
0 or 1 blocks only
Block of Actions3;
Endif;
Endif;
Endif;
If ( Cond1) then
Block of Actions1;
Endif;
If (Cond2) then

Endif;
Block of Actions2; 0, 1, 2, or 3 blocks
If (Cond3) then
Block of Actions3;
Endif;

Conclusion :
We use nested If .. Else .. Endif; when you are in a situation where a single block of
actions can be executed among several, Example: display the sign of an integer,
display the state of water, etc.…
We use sequential If .. Endif; when you are in a situation where one or more blocks of
actions can be executed, Example: display all the errors of a given date…
