Objectives
1. Develop problems using the decision logic structure in conjunction with the sequential logic structure. 2. Use the seven problem-solving tools when developing a solution using the decision logic structure. 3. Use nested decision instructions to develop a problem solution.
Objectives
4. Distinguish the different uses of straightthrough, positive, and negative nested decision logic structures. 5. Convert a positive decision logic structure to a negative decision logic structure. 6. Develop decision tables given a set of policies. 7. Develop a decision logic structure from a decision table.
