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

(otherwise simply carry on)
notice there is only one decision and one option

notice there are two decisions but three options

if the weight is over 200g
post cost is 4.50
else
if weight is over 100
post cost is 2.50
else
post cost is 1.50
end if
end if
