Abstract

As mentioned in section 1.7, a selection involves choosing between two or more different actions depending on the value of a data item or some condition. We can illustrate the concept of selecting different actions and the associated C++ language constructs by developing further the student marks example from chapter 5. This will involve taking different actions depending on the values of the examination mark and the practical mark.
