A program will recommend a movie to a user based on the input that the user provides about their interests. This program is an example of which of these structures?

seqsuence
selection
iteration
a flowchart

1 answer

The program you described is primarily an example of selection.

In programming, selection refers to a structure where the program makes decisions based on specific conditions. In your case, the program would use the user's inputs (their interests) to decide which movie to recommend, likely involving conditional statements (like if-else statements).

  • Sequence refers to executing instructions in a linear order.
  • Iteration involves looping through a set of instructions multiple times.
  • A flowchart is a graphical representation of a process or algorithm, not a programming structure itself.

Therefore, the correct answer is selection.
