### IF Statements

• If statements are concerned with Boolean logic. If the statement is true, the block of code associated with the if statement is executed. If the statement is false, control either jumps to the line after the if statement, or after the end keyword of an if statement block.
• var numb:= 1; if numb = 1 then begin // statements that will execute if the value of the numb variable is 1, // will be placed here. end;
• You can remove the begin and end keywords if your statement to execute is a single line statement. PascalAbc understands that if no begin and end are used, the line immediately after the if (condition) will be executed if the condition is true.
• Else clauses
• IF statements can also have associated else clauses. The else clause executes when the if statement is false:
• var numb:= 1; if numb = 1 then begin // Block of code executes if the value of the numb variable is 1. end else begin // Block of code executes if the value of the numb variable is not 1. end
Else if clauses (or Chained If statements)
• If statements can also have associated else if clauses. The clauses are tested in the order that they appear in the code after the if statement. If any of the clauses returns true, the block of code associated with that statement is executed and control leaves the block of code associated with the entire if construct.
• var numb:= 1; if numb = 1 then begin // Block of code executes if the value of the numb variable is 1. end else if numb = 0 then begin // Block of code executes if the value of the numb variable is 0. end else begin // Block of code executes if the value of the numb variable is neither above answers. end
• The semicolon before else is not needed!
• You can create as many else if blocks as necessary.
• Sample:
To do: A number of season (Winter is the first) is given. Output a name of the entered season number. It is better to use the chained If statements.

### Logical (boolean) operations

We can define variables of boolean type:

var A,B: boolean; A := True; B := False; Print(A and B); Print(A or B); Print(not A);
• A and B is True if A is True and B is True at the same time. In other cases A and B is False
• A or B is False if A is False and B is False. In other cases A or B is True
• not A has opposite value: not A is True if A is False
• Logical (boolean) operations in if statements:
• Conditions may consist of logic operations: not, or, and. If there are more than one condition, so each condition must be surrounded by round brackets.
• For example if we must check two conditions:

if (year < 20) or (year > 18) then begin // if body end
If one of the conditions or both conditions are True then if body executes.
• Or another example:
• var a: = 5; if (not (a<4)) and (7>5) then // ← True begin // if body end
• The statements write and print can also return True or False:
• //... a = 5; write (a >= 5); // returns True // ...
The «most popular» errors:
• You don’t need to write semicolon before else clause.
• Don’t forget about begin..end in the cases when there is more than one lines of code after then or else.

### Case statement

If there are too many else if statements, code can become difficult to understand. In this case, a better solution is to use a switch statement:

var numb:= 1; case numb of 1,2 : writeln ('1 or 2'); // Block of code executes if the value of numb is 1 ot 2. 3: writeln('3'); // Block of code executes if the value of numb is 2. 4: writeln('4'); // Block of code executes if the value of numb is 3. 5: writeln('5'); // Block of code executes if the value of numb is 5. else writeln('nothing matches'); // Block of code executes if noone matches. end
• A block labeled else will execute when none of the other blocks match.

### Using String type

Case statement can check the variable of String type.

Lab 1 Example:
Given: the english words ‘dog’, ‘use’, ‘find’.
To do: Output translations of the words into russian.

✍ Algorithm:

### Using ranges and enumerations

Lab 2 Example:
Given: Month ordinal.
To do: Output corresponding name of a season.

✍ Algorithm:

{0.3 points} Task 21:
To do: Perform the task using the Case statement. Program requests to enter a number of the mass units (1 means kilogram, 2 means ounce, 3 - gram, 4 - ton, 5 - pound). Then the program requests body weight in one of these units. Output body weight in kilograms (1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms, 1 gram = 0.0010 kilograms, 1 ton = 1000 kilograms, 1 pound = 0.4536 kilograms).

The resulting example:

enter body weight
>>> 4
enter mass 1..5
>>> 4
in kilograms = 4000


{0.5 points} Task 22:
To do: Perform the task using the Case statement. The commands are numbered as follows:

1 — check if the number is negative;
2 — check if the number is odd;
3 — check if the number is the divided by entered number D (the number D is entered by the user when this command is selected).

You must ask the user to input an integer N - the sequence number of the C command, and then to output the result. For example, for the command "2" output True if the number is odd and False otherwise.

Note: In response to entering an incorrect command, you should display the message "Command is unknown!".

The resulting example:

N :
>>> -23
C :
>>> 1
True
---
N :
>>> 103
C :
>>> 3
D :
>>> 7
False


{0.2 points} Task 23:
To do: Perform the task using Case statement: Arithmetic operations are numbered as follows: 1 - addition, 2 - subtraction, 3 - multiplication, 4 - division. Ask user to enter a number - arithmetic operation (integer in the range 1–4) and two reals A and B (B is not = 0). Output the result of the specified arithmetic operation with the given numbers.

The resulting example:

Enter arithmetic operation, please (from 1 till 4):
>>> 1
Enter two real numbers:
>>> 2.2  >>> 5.0
the result is 2.2 + 5.0 = 7.2
---
Enter arithmetic operation, please (from 1 till 4):
>>> 2
