Study Notes
Purpose of 'if-else' Structure
- Allows branching in program flow based on condition evaluation.
- Facilitates decision-making in code execution paths.
Execution of 'else' Block
- The 'else' block executes when all preceding 'if' and 'else if' conditions evaluate as false.
Output of Sample Program 1
- If input is 0, the output is determined by conditions specific to that program structure, often leading to a default behavior or message.
Condition for 'else if (number < 0)'
- The 'else if (number < 0)' block executes when the number is negative.
'if/else Ladder'
- Refers to a series of 'if' and 'else if' statements leading to a final 'else', used for multiple conditional checks.
Purpose of 'Selection' Control Structure
- Manages the flow of program execution based on various conditions, enabling selective code execution.
No True Conditions in if-else Statements
- If none of the conditions are true, any final 'else' will execute, or if absent, the program proceeds without executing conditional blocks.
Value of 'grade' for 'mark' = 75
- The value of 'grade' would be determined based on specific conditions defined in the code; typically indicative of a passing mark.
Purpose of Logical Operators
- Enhance conditional statements by allowing multiple conditions to be evaluated simultaneously.
- Commonly used in conjunction with 'if' statements for complex condition definition.
Value of 'grade' if 'mark' = 55
- The value of 'grade' is determined by conditions set in the alternative comparison code; typically reflects a lower pass or fail status.
Representation of 'else' Statement
- Serves as a catch-all for any remaining conditions not satisfied by prior 'if' or 'else if' statements.
True Condition in if-else Chain
- When a true condition is found, the corresponding block executes, and subsequent conditions are skipped.
Use of Logical Operators in Conditional Statements
- Employed to check multiple conditions at the same time, significantly expanding decision-making capabilities.
Final Else in if-else Statements
- Acts as a fallback option, executing when all preceding conditions are false.
Outcomes of && as Logical Operator
- Evaluates to true only if both conditions are true, allowing precise control over decision-making.
Absence of Final Else
- If no final 'else' exists and all conditions are false, the program does nothing or moves to the next block of code outside the 'if-else' structure.
