Study Notes
Control Statements
- Selection statements allow the computer to make choices based on a condition.
- The Boolean data type consists of two values:
True
andFalse
. -
if-else
statements are used to check inputs for errors, they have two possible outcomes. -
if
statements are the simplest form of selection, they perform a task if a condition isTrue
. - Multi-way
if
statements are used to test multiple conditions, they have more than two outcomes. - Logical operators:
and
,or
,not
are used to construct compound Boolean expressions. - Logical operators are evaluated after comparisons, but before the assignment operator (
=
). - Short-circuit evaluation stops evaluating a statement as soon as possible due to
True
orFalse
results.
Definite Iteration, for
Loop and range()
- Definite iteration repeats a set of commands a fixed number of times.
-
for
loops use arange
function to generate a sequence of numbers. -
range(x)
generates a sequence from0
tox-1
,range(y,z)
generates a sequence fromy
toz-1
. - Off-by-one errors occur when a loop does not perform the intended number of iterations.
Conditional Iteration and the while
loop
- Conditional iteration repeats a set of commands while a condition is
True
. - An entry-controlled
while
loop keeps repeating until the condition becomesFalse
. - A
break
statement can be used to exit a loop from its body prematurely. - Any
for
loop can be converted into an equivalentwhile
loop. - An infinite loop continues indefinitely if the continuation condition never becomes
False
. -
random.randint(x,y)
returns a random integer betweenx
