Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the primary difference between a math operation and a logic operation?

  • 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, the else 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 and else if conditions are false, the code within the else 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 the if or else if statement to execute.
  • ||: OR logic requires at least one condition to be true for the if or else if statement to execute.
