Introduction to Programming:

Conditional Statements
Meeting 1: Concepts and
Foundations
Learning Objectives
• • Understand programming basics
• • Explain conditional statements
• • Identify decision-making structures
• • Introduce pseudocode and flowcharts
What is Programming?
• • Designing and building an executable
computer program
• • Includes: Algorithms, logic, input/output,
control structures
What are Conditional Statements?
• • Control structure based on conditions
• • Executes actions based on TRUE or FALSE
• Example:
• IF it is raining THEN take umbrella ELSE wear
sunglasses
Pseudocode Example
• IF temperature < 20 THEN
• PRINT "It is cold!"
• ELSE
• PRINT "It is warm!"
Flowchart Symbols
• • Oval – Start/End
• • Rectangle – Process/Action
• • Diamond – Decision/Conditional
• • Parallelogram – Input/Output
Flowchart Example
• Decision: Is temperature < 20?
• Yes → PRINT 'It is cold!'
• No → PRINT 'It is warm!'
Interactive Discussion
• • What is a real-life example of an 'if-else'
condition?
• • How can you use decision-making in your
daily routine?
Summary & Homework
• • Conditional statements are essential in
programming
• • Use pseudocode and flowcharts to visualize
logic
• Homework: Write pseudocode for a real-life
decision
Building Conditional Statements

Meeting 2: Pseudocode and


Flowcharts in Action
Review: Pseudocode Syntax
• IF user_age >= 18 THEN
• PRINT "Adult"
• ELSE
• PRINT "Minor"
Detailed Example – Login System
• BEGIN
• INPUT username, password
• IF username == "admin" AND password ==
"pass123" THEN
• PRINT "Login successful!"
• ELSE
• PRINT "Access denied."
• END
Flowchart for Login Example
• Start → Input username & password →
Decision
• Is input correct? Yes → Login successful
• No → Access denied → End
Exercise 1: Pseudocode
• Write pseudocode for checking if a number is:
• • Positive
• • Negative
• • Zero
Exercise 2: Flowchart
• Convert your pseudocode into a flowchart
• • Include Start, Input, Decision, Output, End
Discussion & Troubleshooting
• • What challenges did you face?
• • How did you solve them?
• • What did you learn about logical thinking?
Summary & Further Learning
• • Practice writing pseudocode
• • Use flowcharts to visualize logic
• • Explore online tools for flowchart design
• Q&A and sharing of insights
