The code you provided is an example of selection. In programming, selection refers to the use of conditional statements (like if
, else if
, and else
) to execute different blocks of code based on whether a condition evaluates to true or false.
In this case, the condition checks if the length of the password is less than 8 characters, and if true, it prints a message indicating that the password is not valid.
To clarify the terms:
- Iteration refers to the repetition of a block of code (like a loop).
- Selection refers to making decisions in the code based on conditions.
- Sequencing refers to executing statements in a linear order.
Thus, the aspect of the code you highlighted is clearly selection.
