Chapter 9: Time to Leave the Nest (Nested Selection Structures)
TRUE/FALSE
1. You use the selection structure to make a decision and then select the appropriate path—either the true
path or the false path—based on the result.
2. Only one path in a selection structure can include instructions that declare variables, perform
calculations, and so on.
3. Only one path in a selection structure can include other selection structures.
4. You cannot use a nested selection structure when more than one decision must be made before the
appropriate action can be taken.
5. When only one decision needs to be made, it does not require a nested selection structure.
6. The instructions in the true path of a nested structure should not be indented within the inner selection
structure.
7. Nested selection structures are often used when coding applications whose interface contains radio
buttons.
8. Radio button are labeled using book title capitalization in the radio button’s Text property.
9. It is not customary in Windows applications to have one of the radio buttons in a group already
selected when the interface first appears.
10. The default radio button is the radio button that is automatically selected when an interface first
appears.
11. If the property contains the Boolean value True, the radio button is not selected.
12. When using radio buttons, a group box is necessary only if you want to include more than one group
on a form.
13. Like expressions containing comparison operators, expressions containing logical operators always
evaluate to a Boolean value.
14. Logical operators are always evaluated before any comparison operators in an expression.
15. The AndAlso operator has a precedence number of 2.
