Final answer:
To combine a loop and a selection statement, you can use an if statement within the loop. Here's an example using a while loop and an if statement to execute specific code when the loop variable is even.
Step-by-step explanation:
To combine a loop and a selection statement, you can use an if statement within the loop. After initializing the loop variable, in this case j, you need to specify the conditions for the loop to continue running. Within the loop, you can use an if statement to include the selection logic. For example, if you want to execute a certain block of code only when a particular condition is met, you can use an if statement within the loop. Here's an example:
j = 1;
while(j <= 10) {
if(j % 2 == 0) {
// code to execute when j is even
}
j++;
}
In this example, the loop variable j is initialized to 1 and the loop continues until j becomes 10. Inside the loop, the if statement checks if j is divisible by 2, indicating an even number. If the condition is true, the code within the if statement is executed. Then, j is incremented by 1 before the loop repeats.
