Solution Preview

1. One of the selection control constructs available in programming languages is the "IF-ELSE" construct. It is a very commonly used construct in many popular programming languages such as C, C++ and BASIC. Its common form is:

if (condition1)
{statement1;
statement2;
...
statement_n;
}

// If multiple selections are required, there will be else-if statements.
else if (condition2)
{statement1;
statement2;
...
statement_n;
}

// If there are statements that need to be ...
