CCP503.33 1
Objective:
On completion of this period, you would be able to
know :

 Concept of Decision control flow statements

 Writing small programs by using Decision
control flow statements – like If….End if,
Select.. Case etc,.

CCP503.33 2
Recap

 Looping constructs
 Do…while
 For…Next
 While…Wend

CCP503.33 3
Decision Constructs

Decision constructs help in testing values with

Relational and Logical expressions and change
the flow of program execution based on the
results of testing
 If…Then
 If…Then…Else
 Select Case

CCP503.33 4
General Syntax Of Simple If
 If <Condition> then
Executable Statement
End if
 Condition is a Relational or Logical expression
 Execute statements with If…End if , if the
condition tests ‘True’
Example:
If (age>=18) then
Msgbox(“ You are eligible to Vote”);
end if
CCP503.33 5
Program 1 on If…Then (Simple if)

Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project in design

mode

 Change its name as Form1

 Double-click on Form itself and enter code in

form_click as in Fig 32.1

CCP503.33 6
The program asks a number is greater than ‘0’,
it doubles it and shows the result

Fig 33.1
CCP503.33 7
Program 2 on If…Then…Else If

Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project in design mode

 Change its name as Form1 and its caption as “If…

Then…Else”

 Place a command button , change its caption as

“InputScore” & name as “Exit”

 Double-click on command buttons & enter code as in

Fig33.2

CCP503.33 9
Program 3 on If…Then…Else
Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project in design mode

 Change its name as Form1

 Double-click on Form itself and enter code in

form_click

 Now run application, click anywhere on form while

running

 Observe changes as in Fig 33.3

CCP503.33 10

CCP503.33 11
Select…Case

 This construct is similar to If…Else…Then but

much more simple
 It also helps in carrying out different operations
for different values of a variable

CCP503.33 12
Select…Case (Contd..)
 Its construct is
Select Case Variable
Case value1
Statements
Case value2
Statements
Case Else
Statement when none of the above
conditions are satisfied
End Select

CCP503.33 13
Program 4 on Select…Case
Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project in design

mode

 Change its name as Form1

 Add two buttons ”choose color” , ”exit”

 Now run application, & click “choose color”

 Observe changes as in Fig 33.4

CCP503.33 15
Program 5 on Select…Case

Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project & name it as

Form1

 Add two buttons ”compute” , ”exit” and one text

and two label boxes as in Fig 33.5

 Now run application & click “compute”

 Observe changes as in Fig 33.5

CCP503.33 16

CCP503.33 17
Program 6 on Select…Case

Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project & name it as

Form1

 Add two buttons ”compute” , ”exit” and one text

and two label boxes as in Fig 33.6

 Now run application, & click “compute”

 Observe changes as in Fig 33.6

Program 7 on Select…Case
Follow the steps to develop application:

 Open a new Standard EXE project & name it as

Form1

 Add two buttons ”compute” , ”exit” and one text

and two label boxes as in Fig 33.7

 Now run application, & click “compute”

 Observe changes as in Fig 33.7

QUIZ

1. Which of the following is NOT a decision

making statement?

A. For … Next
B. IF … then….End if
C. Select …. Case
D. If … then … Else….end if

CCP503.33 24
2. Dim grade As String
Private Sub Compute_Click( )
grade=Input Box (“Enter grade as like (A/B/C): ”)
Select Case grade
Case "A"
Txtresult .Caption="Distinction"
Case “B"
Txtresult .Caption=“First Class"
Case “C”
Txtresult. Caption=“Pass”
Case Else
Txtresult .Caption="Fail"
End Select
In the above program, If grade is ” A” , what will be the
result?
a) Distinction
b) Pass
c) Fail
d) First Class
CCP503.33 25
Assignment

code block area?
2. In a Select statement, how many times is the
expression that is being compared to the
different cases evaluated?
