Subgoals

Section 5.14 Assessment: Nested If-Statements

Subgoals for Evaluating Selection Statements.

  1. Diagram which statements go together
  2. For if statement, determine whether expression is true or false
  3. If true – follow true branch, if false – follow else branch or do nothing if no else branch
