    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).
    • Programs that present the user with a menu of choices.
    • User input directs the program flow.
