Study Notes
If…Else Selection Structure
- Allows for different actions based on a condition being true or false.
- Example: If a student's grade is >= 60, print "Passed"; otherwise, print "Failed".
Nested If…Else Statement
- Used for multiple condition checks within selection structures.
- Example structure:
- If (grade >= 70) → Print "A"
- Else if (grade >= 60) → Print "B"
- Else if (grade >= 50) → Print "C"
- Else if (grade >= 40) → Print "D"
- Else → Print "F"
Repetition Control Structures
- Enables repeated execution of code segments.
- Common repetition statements: while, do…while, for.
While Loop
- A loop that executes while a specified condition remains true.
- Condition is checked at the start; if false from the outset, the loop does not execute.
- Structure:
- while (condition) { statement(s); }
Flowcharts
- Visual representation of program flow and logic.
- Enables clear understanding of control structures like loops and conditionals.
Types of Control Structures
- Sequence Structure: Default execution in order.
- Selection Structures:
- if, if-else, switch statements.
- Repetition Structures:
- while, do/while, for loops.
Selection Control Structures
- Includes if selection statement (single action), if…else statement (double action), and switch statement (multiple actions).
Flowchart for If Statement
- Visualizes decision-making processes in programs:
- True branch executes one set of statements.
- False branch executes another or stops.
Flowchart for While Loop
- Illustrates the loop condition:
- If condition is true, execute statements; if false, exit the loop.
Do…While Control Structure
- Similar to while, but checks its condition after executing statements.
- Guarantees at least one execution.
- Syntax:
- do { statement(s); } while (condition);
Control Flow in Do…While Loop
- Control returns to the loop's start if the condition remains true.
- Loop exits when the condition evaluates to false.
