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.
