Control Statement

A control statement dictates the order of program instructions.

if-else statement

A statement that checks a condition; if true, executes one block of code; otherwise, executes another.

switch statement

A statement that checks a value against multiple possible cases and executes the corresponding block of code.

if-nested if

An if statement inside another if statement, allowing for multiple conditions.

Study Notes

Control Statements

  • Control statements dictate the order instructions are executed in a program
  • They allow programs to make choices and repeat tasks
  • Control statements include if-else, nested if-else, and switch

If-Else Statement

  • A control statement used to check conditions
  • If the condition is true, execute the associated statement
  • If the condition is false, execute the else part (if it exists)
  • Syntax: if (condition) {statement 1} else {statement 2}

Switch Statement

  • A control statement used for checking multiple cases
  • The switch statement passes an expression
  • If expression matches a case, the statements in that case are executed
  • It uses break statements to exit the switch statement after a matched case
  • Syntax: switch (expression) {case value1: statements; break; case value2: statements; break; default: statements;}

Calculating Employee Salary

  • Python code calculates employee salary based on salary bands and associated percentages.

Simple Calculator

  • Code for designing a basic calculator using switch statements.
    • Allows for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
  • Input validation is not shown

Precedence and Associativity

  • Precedence: Order of evaluation of operators in an expression. Operators with higher precedence are evaluated first.
  • Associativity: Order of evaluation of operators with the same precedence. This can be either left-to-right or right-to-left.

Bitwise Operators

  • Bitwise operators manipulate individual bits within data types.
  • Common operators: AND (&), OR (|), XOR (^), complement (~), left shift (<<), right shift (>>)
  • Useful in low-level programming tasks, cryptography, image processing.
