Study Notes
Operators and Control Flow
- Unary operators (+/-, ++, --) are common, but focus on their use, not on all variations
- Order of Operations (precedence) is crucial; use parentheses for clarity. Complex expressions should be avoided to improve readability.
- Control flow is the first real programming topic, involves changing program flow based upon a condition.
- Integer order of evaluation: Operators have a defined order of precedence (*, /, %, +, -). Use parentheses if needed to disambiguate expression evaluation.
Control Flow Examples
-
if/elsestatements:- An
ifstatement executes a block of code if a condition is true - Use
elseto specify an alternative block for when the condition is false - Indentation improves readability.
- An
-
if-elseblocks:-
if(condition) { statement1; statement2; }; else {statement 3;} - Only one block executes;
statement2only ifconditionis true.
-
-
Example
ifstructure:
if (age < 18)
if (age > 12)
printf("Teenager\n");
else
printf ("Child\n");
else
printf("Adult\n");
- Relational and logical operators are used in the condition.
Relational and Logical Operators
-
Relational Operators:
<,>,<=,>=,==,!=determine relationships between values. For example:x > 10. -
Logical Operators:
&&(AND),||(OR),!(NOT) combine relational expressions.- Example:
if (x > 10 && y < 20) ...
- Example:
switch-case Statements
- Used to represent simple conditions.
switch (x) {
case 1:
printf("One\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("Two\n");
break;
default:
printf("None\n");
break;
}
-
breakis crucial; without it, cases may "fall through." - Cases should be constants.
Important Notes
- Readability: Write code that is easy to read and understand (use indentation).
- Error Prevention: Avoid complex expressions, and use parentheses for complex logical operations.
- Data Types: Ensure data types (int, char, enum) are consistent.
