If Statements in Pseudocode

In this tutorial, we will explore the concept of if statements in pseudocode. If statements are a fundamental building block in programming, allowing us to create conditional branches in our code. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of if statements and how to use them effectively in pseudocode.

If statements are a type of control structure that allows us to execute a block of code only if a certain condition is met. They are essential for creating decision-making processes in our programs.

Uses:

• Comparing values.
• Checking if a variable meets a specific condition.
• Determining if a user input is valid.

Basic If Statements in Pseudocode

The basic syntax of an if statement in pseudocode is as follows:

The condition is a logical expression that evaluates to either true or false. If the condition is true, the code within the if statement will be executed. If the condition is false, the code will be skipped.

If Statement - Pseudocode Example

Let's consider a simple example. We want to check if a student's grade is greater than or equal to 60. If it is, we will print 'Pass'; otherwise, we will do nothing.
