Picking the right control structure is like choosing the best tool for a task! Let’s make it simple:

1. If Statements: Use these when you need to make choices.

   • Example: If it’s raining, then grab an umbrella.
   • This checks if something is true or false and runs the code based on that.

2. Loops: These are great for doing the same thing many times.

   • Example: If you want to say “Hello” 5 times, you can use a loop.
   • This makes it easy without having to write the same code over and over.

3. Combining Structures: Sometimes, you need both!

   • Example: If someone’s age is over 18, then go through a list of activities for adults.
   • This helps you check a condition and then do several things.

Tips for Choosing the Right Structure:

• Identify the Task: Is it a choice-making task or something you need to repeat?
• Consider Conditions: Do you have more than one condition? You might need to use nested if statements.
• Think About Efficiency: Loops can save time, especially for tasks that repeat a lot.

Try experimenting and see what works best for your problem!
