    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.
