Nearly every programming language uses the little word if help to implement a conditional code control structure
We already know that conditional code means that a decision is made about whether a block of code should be carried out as an option
The diagrams below introduce the three variations that the projects in this section will explore in much more detail
⁠

1 simple single option

if the weight is over 200g
post cost is 4.50
else
if weight is over 100
post cost is 2.50

post cost is 1.50
end if
