    Is the decision point in an IFTHENELSE statement a conditional or unconditional?
    I believe it would be an unconditional branch, because whether the program follows "T" or "F" it continues (sorry for my lack of fancy programming words I'm just starting)

    WOW! It's been a long time since I did anything with programming language but it seems to me to be conditional. If a is b then c else d so you actually have two choices c or d. d could actually be to return to the initial choice like if your asking for input y for yes and n for no and someone accidentally types u it would return to asking for y or n cause u is not a choice. Take that with a grain of salt since I took fortran in 1982.

    This sounds like a homework question, is it? If so you should identify it as such.

    In any case, an If... Then... Else statement is called a conditional. Because it acts differently depending on whether a condition is true or false. In addition to If... Then... Else you also have Select Case statements that fall into the Conditionals class.
