Data Structures and Algorithms Unit Test 11 of 2211 of 22 Items Question Suppose you are writing a program that requires you take different paths depending on the response to a prompt. The prompt has more than two acceptable responses. Which of the following structures would be most appropriate? (1 point) Responses if…then if…then for loop for loop if…then…else if…then…else While loop While loop Skip to navigation page 1 of 1

Answer 1

In this scenario, where you have a prompt with more than two acceptable responses and need to take different paths based on those responses, the most appropriate structure would be the if…then…else if…then…else structure. This allows you to evaluate multiple conditions sequentially and take different actions based on the specific response provided.

Using a series of if...then...else statements lets you clearly define what happens for each possible response. Here's a simple example of how this might look in pseudocode:

if response == "Option1" then
   // Action for Option 1
else if response == "Option2" then
   // Action for Option 2
else if response == "Option3" then
   // Action for Option 3
else
   // Action for unexpected response

This approach is clean and effective for handling multiple distinct outcomes based on variable input.
