Study Notes

Boolean Expressions

  • A Boolean expression can be composed of operators such as comparison and Boolean operators.
  • Comparison operators include equal (==), not equal (!=), less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (<=), and greater than or equal to (>=).
  • Boolean operators include AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!).
  • Boolean expressions can be used to check conditions.
  • For instance, the expression (X*X +9*X +10) == 0 can determine if the value of X is a solution to the equation X2+9X+10 = 0.
  • To check if variable Y is an even number, the expression (Y%2 == 0) or (Y%2 != 1) can be used.
  • Boolean variables can be used to store Boolean values, which are either true or false and are declared using the keyword bool.
  • bool MyVar = true is an example of a Boolean variable declaration.

Flowcharts

  • A flowchart provides a graphical or visual representation of an algorithm.
  • It is easier to understand the flow of a solution with flowcharts.
  • Flow charts use standard symbols accepted worldwide, including:
    • Terminator - represents the start or end of the flow.
    • Process - represents a step or action.
    • Input/output - indicates data entering or leaving the system.
    • Condition - represents a decision point.
    • Connector - to link different parts of the flowchart.
    • Flow line - the direction of the flow.

IF Statements

  • An IF statement is a simple conditional statement that enables testing for a condition, and branches to different blocks of code depending on the result.
  • The general structure of an if statement is:
if (condition) {
       statements;
}
  • Specific statements are executed when the "condition" is true.

IF-ELSE Statements

  • An IF-ELSE statement is a more complex conditional statement that executes one branch if the condition is true, and another if it is false.
  • The simplest form of an if-else statement is:
if (condition) {
      statements;
} else {
      another_statement;
}
  • If the condition is true, statement1 is executed and if the condition is false, statement2 is executed.

Nested IF Statements

  • Nested if statements may be present inside other if or else blocks.
  • Multiple cases can be handled with else if statements, but only one of the cases will return as a result.

Switch Case Statement

  • A switch...case statement corresponds to the value of the switch expression in order to select a statement where its label matches.
  • Structure of the switch statement:
switch (<expression>) {
    case <constant-expression>:
        <statements>;
        break;
    [default:
        <statements>;
        break;]
}
  • The expression must be an int, char, or string.
