Study Notes

Relational Operators and Conditional Execution

  • Relational operators examine literals and variables in a program and operate accordingly
  • They are used to create decision statements that test relationships and make decisions about which statement to execute next

The if Statement

  • The if statement is used to incorporate relational operators in C++ programs
  • It allows for conditional execution, enabling the program to test for a condition and branch to different parts of the code depending on the result
  • The simplest form of an if statement is: if (condition){ Statements; }
  • The condition must be enclosed in parentheses and can include any relational comparison
  • If the condition is True, the block of statements inside the braces executes; otherwise, it is ignored and the program continues to execute the next statement

Data-Driven Programs

  • Data-driven programs are programs that don't always execute the same way every time
  • They are controlled by data, which dictates what the program does
  • Relational operators are used to conditionally control other statements, making it possible to create data-driven programs

How if Statements Work

  • An if statement can be read as: "If the condition is True, perform the block of statements inside the braces. Otherwise, the condition must be False; so do not execute that block, but continue executing the remainder of the program as though this if statement did not exist."
  • The block of statements following the if executes only if the condition is True
  • If the condition is False, C++ ignores the block and executes the next statement in the program

Examples of if Statements

  • if (bigNumber &gt; smallNumber) { bigNumber = smallNumber; cout &lt;&lt; "bigNumber is now smallNumber"; }
  • if (expression){ statement1; statement2; statement3; }
