The PRINT statements in the true branch executed in sequence.

Tasks as Branches

The true branch and the false branch can get large. The IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF structure may have branches containing many statements:

IF some test THEN
  true branch statement 1
  true branch statement 2
  . . . . .
  true branch statement 99
  true branch statement 100
ELSE
  false branch statement 1
  false branch statement 2
  . . . . .
  false branch statement 49
  false branch statement 50
END IF

A better way to think about this is the following:

IF some test THEN
  Task to perform when the test is true
ELSE
  Task to perform when the test is false
END IF

Computer programs solve a problem by breaking it into smaller tasks. If the problem breaks into a choice of two small tasks, use the IF-THEN-ELSE-END IF control structure.

QUESTION 7:

Say that you have a problem that breaks into three tasks:

Task 1 must be done first.
Only one of the following is done, depending on a test:
- Task 2
- Task 3

What does the design for the program look like?
