Study Notes
Input Validation in Programming
- A while loop continuously executes as long as a boolean expression remains true.
- Essential components of a while loop:
- A boolean expression checked before each iteration.
- A block of code that executes if the expression evaluates true.
- Helps ensure that user inputs are valid before proceeding in a program.
Example Scenario: Player Team Validation
- Establishes minimum (MIN_PLAYERS) and maximum (MAX_PLAYERS) thresholds for a team size.
- The loop prompts the user to enter a team size until it falls within specified limits.
- Uses conditional statements to validate that values entered by users meet designated criteria.
Calculation of Teams and Players
- Once valid inputs are received for total players and team size, calculations for:
- Total number of teams: calculated by dividing total players by team size.
- Leftover players: determined using the modulus operator.
- Results will display the number of formed teams and any players remaining unassigned.
Importance of Input Validation
- Ensures the integrity of program execution by preventing invalid data inputs.
- Improves user experience by providing clear instructions for acceptable input, reducing confusion.
- Garbage in, garbage out principle emphasizes that program output quality relies on accurate input.
Structure of a While Loop
- While loops are effective for reprompting users until acceptable data is provided.
- Example structure shows how to repeatedly ask for user input until the correct range (1-100) is inputted, demonstrating practical usage in input validation.
