Two-Way Selection Statement

Definition

A two-way selection statement is a programming construct that allows the program to make a decision between two possible actions based on a condition. It evaluates a Boolean expression and executes different code blocks depending on whether the condition is true or false.

Boolean Expression:

A boolean expression is an expression that evaluates to either true or false. It often involves comparison operators (e.g., ==, <, >) and logical operators (e.g., &&, ||) to express conditions used in decision-making.

Conditional Statements:

Conditional statements are programming constructs that allow different lines of code to be executed depending on certain conditions. They include if-statements, switch-statements, and other branching structures.

If-Else Statement: An if-else statement is a specific type of two-way selection statement where an initial condition is evaluated. If the condition is true, one block of code executes; otherwise, another block executes.
