• Review: Multiple Choice Questions
• TODO & Resources for help

Logic Problem (Square Table Example)

• Four people (Alice, Carol, Brian, David) seated around a square table.
• Alice: Skater; Carol: Gymnast; Brian: Swimmer; David: Tennis player
• Swimmer sat to Alice's left.
• Gymnast sat across from Brian.
• Woman sat next to the skater's left.

Control Structures

• Control structures define the flow of a program based on specific conditions.

Overview of Control Structures

• Three types of logic/flow control:
  • Sequence: Sequential flow of instructions (previous week).
  • Selection: Conditional flow (current week).
  • Iteration: Repetitive flow (next week).

Relational Operators

• Relational operators compare values to evaluate to either TRUE or FALSE.
• Examples: == (equal to), != (not equal to), < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to), >= (greater than or equal to).

Selection (Decision Making)

• One-way selection: if statement: Conditional code execution if condition is true. (Do not write empty code blocks).
• Two-way selection: if-else statement: Conditional execution of different codes for true and false.
• Multi-way Selection: if-else if-else statement: Conditional execution of different codes based on multiple conditions. Nesting of if-else statements is possible.

Compound Operators

• Logical AND (&&), OR (||) combine relational expressions (conditions)

Review Questions

• Complete multiple-choice exercises (4.11).
• Complete exercises 1 to 8 (Skipping exercises 9 and 10 on recursion).

Pre-work Challenge

• Although exercise is in Python try to solve using the principles related in this module.
