Study Notes
Selection Control Structures
- Programs use control structures to manage the order of program execution.
- Three types of control structures exist: sequential, selection, and repetition.
Sequential Structure
- A sequential structure executes statements one after another in a linear fashion, from top to bottom.
Selection Structure (Branching)
- Selection (branching) structures execute different code blocks based on whether a condition is true or false.
- This allows for conditional execution of code.
- A condition is a boolean expression, evaluating to either true or false.
Repetition Structure (Looping)
- Repetition (looping) structures execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a condition remains true.
Boolean Expressions
- In programming, boolean expressions produce either true or false results.
- An arithmetic expression having a non-zero value is a true boolean expression, while an expression with a zero value is false.
- Boolean values are often used in conditional statements.
Relational Operators
- Relational operators compare two values.
- These operators return true or false, depending on the comparison.
Operator | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
< | less than | 1 < 2 |
<= | less than or equal to | 1 <= 2 |
> | greater than | 2 > 1 |
>= | greater than or equal to | 2 >= 1 |
== | equal to | x == y |
!= | not equal to | x != y |
- The operators are used to create relational expressions used in conditional statements.
Logical Operators
- Logical operators combine multiple relational expressions into a single boolean expression.
- They combine conditions and produce results as true or false.
Operator | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
&& | AND | (x < 5) && (y > 10) |
! | NOT | !(x < 5) |
- Logical operators provide complex conditions combining multiple criteria.
Operator Precedence
- Operators have different levels of precedence, determining which are evaluated before others.
- Arithmetic then relational then logical in general.
The if Statement
- The
if
statement is used for single-way selection, allowing a block of code to execute only when a specific condition is true.
The if...else Statement
- The
if...else
statement enables two-way selection, choosing between two different code blocks depending on the condition.
The if...else if Statement
- The
if...else if
statement enables multiple-way selection, choosing between separate code blocks based on multiple conditions.
The Conditional Operator
- A concise alternative to
if...else
for simple two-way selection.
Operator/Statement format | Explanation |
---|---|
condition ? expression1 : expression2 |
If condition is true, expression 1 is evaluated. Otherwise, expression 2 is evaluated |
- The Conditional operator is used to choose between two results based on a condition.
Nested if Statements
- An if statement inside another if statement to check multiple conditions.
Switch Statement
- The
switch
statement allows selection from multiple code blocks that are identified by different expressions (constants).
Menu-Driven Programs
- Programs that present the user with a menu of choices.
- User input directs the program flow.
