Question 5 2 pts
The type of control structure that
causes a branch forward at some
point, causing a portion of the
program to be skipped, is:
a selection structure.
O a seguential structure
a repetition structure
a loop structure

Selection structure.

Explanation:

In a decision structure (selection structure), there is a branch forward at some point, which causes a portion of the program to be skipped. A loop structure (repetition structure) contains a branch to a previous statement in the program module, which results in a block of statements that can be executed many times.

Step 1 : Start

Step2 : Input first number, num1

Step3 : Input second number, num2

Step4 : product - - > num1 * num2 (product of num1 and num2)

Step5 : Input product, myanswer

Step6 : comparison - - - > correct or incorrect based on myanswer and product

Step6: print(comparison)

Step7: End

Explanation:

Algorithm is a sequence of instructions a computer is expected to follow to solve a particular problem.

Required :

Two inputs ; num1 and num2

Expected output

Algorithm :

Step 1 : Start

Step2 : Input first number, num1

Step3 : Input second number, num2

Step4 : product - - > num1 * num2 (product of num1 and num2)

Step5 : Input product, myanswer

Step6 : comparison - - - > correct or incorrect based on myanswer and product

Step6: print(comparison)

Step7: End

The two numbers to multiply are entered ; the product is calculated by the program ; the the user inputs his or her own expecteted product ;

Both are compared and the output of the comparison is displayed (either correct oe incorrect)
