Question

The ______ clause in an if statement allows a program to make one choice if the condition is true, and anothere choice if the condition is false.

Answer 1

Answer: The IF clause.

Explanation: This is the IF clause; you can use it as:

IF (something = true) then "something happens"

else "other thing happens"

Some example of it can be, suppose that your program reads a number X that the user inputs, then you can do:

If ( X > 5) then

print: "the number X is bigger than five"

Else

print: "the number X is smaller than five"

Where, of course, the statements depend on the language used, but the "if" clause works almost the same in every language.
