DECISION STRUCTURE
______________ represents part of the program that repeats. This structure is frequently referred to as a loop
REPETITION STRUCTURE
This is a repetition structure wherein the condition is tested before any actions are performed.
PRE-TEST REPETITION STRUCTURE
This is a repetition structure wherein the condition is tested after the actions are performed
POST-TEST REPETITION STRUCTURE
A post-test repetition structure always performs its actions at least once.
TRUE
This is a structure wherein one of several possible actions is taken, depending on the contents of a variable.
CASE STRUCTURE
