- added "if...else" Double Selection Statement

Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 has build in tool for creating UML Activity Diagrams. We can use this tool for creating flowcharts for describing algorithms.

Creating UML Activity Diagram:

• Select: "File" -> "New" -> "Project..." -> "Modeling Projects"
• Write a name, for example: UseUMLInsteadOfFlowcharts_ModelingProject
• Press "OK" button
• Right Click on a name of the project
• Select: "Add" -> "New Item..." -> "UML Activity Diagram"
• Write a name, for example: UseUMLInsteadOfFlowcharts.activitydiagram
• Press "Add" button
• To add new items, drag them from the "Toolbox"

I get these examples from the book:

• 2016 - 08 - C# 6 for Programmers - 6th Edition - Paul Deitel, Harvey Deitel. Code Examples: link

1. "if" Single-Selection Statement

int studentGrade = 70;

if (studentGrade >= 60)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Passed");
}

2. "if...else" Double-Selection Statement

int studentGrade = 70;

if (studentGrade >= 60)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Passed");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed");
}

3. "while" Iteration Statement

int product = 3;

while (product <= 100)
{
    product = 3 * product;
}

4. "for" Iteration Statement

for (int counter = 1; counter <= 10; ++counter)
{
    Console.Write($"{counter} ");
}
