- Math operations produce a new numerical result, while logic operations make a decision based on a comparison. (correct)
- Logic operations are performed by the CPU, while math operations are handled by the RAM.
- Math operations are used for input and output, while logic operations are used for data storage.
- Math operations always involve decimals, while logic operations only use integers.

Study Notes
- The unit covers CPU Logic Commands, focusing on
if
statements after discussing keyboard input, screen output, data storage in RAM, and CPU math operations.
Math vs. Logic
- Math involves performing operations on numbers to produce a new numerical result.
- Logic involves comparing numbers to make a decision based on the comparison's outcome.
- Example: Calculating a restaurant tip (math) vs. deciding what to order based on menu prices and available money (logic).
if
Statements
if
statements are CPU Logic Commands that control whether the code within curly{}
brackets is executed.- The code inside
{}
only runs if the condition inside the round()
brackets is true. - Syntax:
if(somecondition){ //run some code if the condition is true }
Comparison Operators
>
: greater than<
: less than>=
: greater than or equal to<=
: less than or equal to==
: equals!=
: does not equal
String Comparisons
- Comparing strings differs significantly from comparing numbers.
strWord.equals(strOtherWord)
: Checks if two strings match exactly.strWord.equalsIgnoreCase(strOtherWord)
: Checks if two strings match, ignoring case.!strWord.equals(strOtherWord)
: Checks if two strings do not match exactly.!strWord.equalsIgnoreCase(strOtherWord)
: Checks if two strings do not match, even when ignoring case.
substring
Command
- Retrieves specific letters from a string to create a new string.
- Requires specifying a start index number and an end index number.
- Grabs the letters between the specified indices.
else if
Statements
- If the initial
if
statement's condition is false, theelse if
statement checks another condition. - If the
else if
condition is true, the code inside its{}
brackets is executed.
else
Statements
- If all preceding
if
andelse if
conditions are false, the code within theelse
statement's{}
brackets is executed.
Real-Life Logic
- Humans constantly use logic and
if/else
statements in their decision-making processes.
Code Syntax Notes
- Every open curly bracket
{
must have a corresponding closing curly bracket}
. - Every open round bracket
(
must have a corresponding closing round bracket)
.
Logic Combining Conditions
&&
: AND logic requires both conditions to be true for theif
orelse if
statement to execute.||
: OR logic requires at least one condition to be true for theif
orelse if
statement to execute.
