Conditional Statement Handout

This document provides information about conditional statements in pseudocode algorithms. It defines if-then, if-then-else, and if-then-else-if statements. The if-then statement executes code if a condition is true. The if-then-else statement executes one block of code if the condition is true and another if false. The if-then-else-if statement allows checking multiple conditions and executing different code blocks. An example uses these statements to calculate revenue for a stadium based on the stand and number of spectators.

displayed to the user if the result obtained from Line 2 is false (that is the value stored in the
variable Age is not greater than 35).
Revenue = Spectators * 5.00(Line13)

THE IF-THEN-ELSE-IF STATEMENT When two or more options are available and a

Practice Question
A stadium has four stands A, B, C, D. The
admission fee for stand A is 2.00, stand B is 2.50, stand C is 4.00 and stand D is 5.00. Read a stand and
the number of spectators in
the stand. Calculate and print the revenue for
the stand.
