C.5. if Single-Selection Statement

Programs use selection statements to choose among alternative courses of action. For example, suppose that the passing grade on an exam is 60. The pseudocode statement

If student's grade is greater than or equal to 60
      Print "Passed"

determines whether the condition “student’s grade is greater than or equal to 60” is true. If so, “Passed” is printed, and the next pseudocode statement in order is “performed.” If the condition is false, the Print statement is ignored, and the next pseudocode statement in order is performed.

The preceding pseudocode If statement easily may be converted to the Java statement

if ( studentGrade >= 60 )
   System.out.println( "Passed" );
