Study Notes

Flow of Control

Four flow control structures:
- Sequential
- Selection
- Repetition
- Invocation
Selection is used to choose which statements to execute based on a condition

Relational Operators

Used for comparisons
Have binary meaning (require 2 operands)
Left to right associativity
Examples: > (greater than), < (less than), == (equal to), != (not equal to)

Relational Expressions

Known as conditions
Evaluate to 1 (true) or 0 (false)
Example: 3<4 evaluates to 1, 2.0>3.3 evaluates to 0

Logical Operations

Used to create complex conditions
AND (&&), OR (||), NOT (!)

AND Operator

True only if both expressions are true
Example: (age > 40) && (term < 10) is true only if both age is > 40 and term < 10

OR Operator

True if either or both expressions are true
Example: (age > 40) || (term < 10) is true if either age > 40 or term < 10

NOT Operator

Used to reverse the state of an expression
Example: If age > 40 is false, !(age > 40) is true

Operator Precedence and Associativity

Parenthesis are used to alter operator priority and improve readability
Relational and logical expressions have a hierarchy of execution
