4.8. Conditional Statements

Programming is all about giving autonomy to the computers. Computers have limited

intelligence and they can’t make decisions on their own unless we program them
to take decisions. Therefore, decision making is an essential part of programming.
Decision making statements allow to specify one or more conditions to be executed Developing Applications

if the condition is determined to be true. Through decision making statements, we can

write a program that will be able to respond to user input during its execution and give
different results for different inputs. This process is possible with the use of conditional
statements or If…Then statements

If...Then Statement

Follow the steps below to create a simple program using condition statements:

1. Create a new form by dragging two
labels, one button and one text box
from the toolbox panel, as shown in

the example.

2. Edit the first label’s text property to
Enter your lucky number.
3. Change the name property of the

text box to TextboxNumber.

4. Edit the button text to Try your luck
and change its name to btnCheck
5. Edit 2nd label’s text property to

Result and its name property to

lblResult
6. Double click on the Try your luck How Does it Work?
button to open the script window.
1. In the first line, we have declared a variable
7. Enter the code as shown. “number” as an integer.

8. Press the debug button to run the 2. In the second line, we have assigned the value of
number variable to TextboxNumber which is a user
code. input text box.
3. In the third line, we set a conditional statement that
if the user input number is greater or equals to 7
then display the message “Congratulations you
win!” in the “lblResult” Label element.
