the ___ clause is the part of the decision that holds the action or actions that execute when the tested condition in the decision is true.
boolean
if - then
endif
else
question 17
both operands in a comparison expression must be the same ___.
name
value
data type
length

Explanation:

• In programming, the if - then clause (or simply if in many languages) is used to execute a block of code when a certain condition (tested condition) is true. A Boolean is a data type (true/false). endif is used to mark the end of an if block in some languages (like Fortran), but it doesn't hold the action when the condition is true. The else clause is for when the condition is false.
• In a comparison expression (e.g., a == b in many programming languages), both operands (a and b) must be of the same data type. For example, you can't compare an integer and a string directly in a meaningful numerical - comparison way in most languages. They don't need to have the same name (variables can have different names but same type), same value (that's what is being checked in a comparison), or same length (relevant for strings in some operations but not for general comparison expressions).

Answer:

For the first question: B. if - then
For the second question: C. data type
