You want to buy a $44.95 sweater, but might not have enough money.

Answer:

PRINT "How much money do you have"
INPUT CASH
'
IF CASH >= 44.95 THEN
  PRINT "Buy the Sweater"    ' true branch
END IF
'
PRINT "done"
END

You (hopefully) picked a relational expression that was TRUE when the user COULD pay for the sweater.

The Right Relational Symbol

Sweater Program

 

Here is what happens for one run of the program:

How much money do you have
? 78.23
Buy the Sweater
done

The true branch was executed because the relational expression was true. Here is another run of the program:

How much money do you have
? 14.96
done

The true branch is skipped because the relational expression was FALSE. Relational expressions always give TRUE or FALSE. Use the correct relational symbol (=, >, <, and others) to ask a question that will be TRUE when you want the true branch to be executed.

QUESTION 7:

Would the relational symbol < have worked in the above program?
