Consider the following C++ code snippet:
int x = 5, y = 3;
if (x > 2) {
if (y > 2) {
int z = x + y;
cout << "z is " << z << endl;
}
}
else
cout << "x is " << x << endl;
What is the output of this code?

Flashcards
Nested if statement
Nested if statement
A 'nested if' is an if...else statement placed inside another if...else statement.
While loop
While loop
Repeats a block of code as long as a specified condition remains true; useful when the number of repetitions isn't predetermined.
Lab 03 focus
Lab 03 focus
This lab covers nested if statements and while loops, focusing on their syntax and use in C++ programming.
Study Notes
- Main focus: Nested If statements and While Loops
Nested if Statement
- Can use
if...elsestatements inside anotherif...elsestatement - Allows for more complex conditional logic
Largest of 3 Numbers Example
- C++ code finds the largest of 3 numbers using nested
if...elsestatements:- Declares three double variables:
n1,n2, andn3. - A
largestvariable will store the largest number based on the program's logic. - Example values:
n1 = -1.0,n2 = 4.5, andn3 = -5.3. - The code checks which number is largest using nested conditions.
- Declares three double variables:
While Loops
- Used to repeat a block of code as long as a specific condition remains true
- Advantageous when the number of repetitions is not predetermined
While Loops Syntax
- Initialization is required
while (condition)sets up the loop
Loop Contents
- Instructions to be repeated, until the condition is no longer satisfied.
- An update to make sure the code doesn't loop indefinitely
Sum of Consecutive Integers Example
- C++ program prints the sum of 10 consecutive integers starting from a number set by the user.
- The user is prompted to enter the starting integer.
- Example program shows adding consecutive numbers using a
whileloop.- If the user enters 5 at the prompt, the calculated sum will be 95.
Exercises Overview
- Includes tasks to identify errors in code, determine output based on given inputs, and write C++ programs.
- Includes a program that asks the user for their age
- Will check if they are older/younger than 18 and output a corresponding message.
- Program also checks if the person is eligible to vote, or falls within the teenager/child age range.
