4.6 If...Then...Else Selection Statement
The If...Then...Else selection statement allows you to specify that a different action (or sequence of actions) is to be performed when the condition is true than when the condition is false. For example, the pseudocode statement
If student's grade is greater than or equal to 60 then
Display "Passed"
Else
Display "Failed"
displays "Passed" if the student's grade is greater than or equal to 60, and displays "Failed" if the student's grade is less than 60. In either case, after the display occurs, the next pseudocode statement in sequence is "performed."
The preceding pseudocode If...Else statement may be written in Visual Basic as

The body of the Else clause is indented so that it lines up with the body of the If clause.
