Conditional Branching

The document discusses conditional branching in programming using if-then constructs and provides examples of algorithms and flowcharts that incorporate conditional logic. Students complete activities to practice writing pseudocode with if-then statements and constructing flowcharts representing conditional branching. The activities evaluate conditions such as stopping positions in a game, exam marks, and time to determine the appropriate output or next steps.
