Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of using flow control in a program?

  • To reduce the overall complexity of the program.
  • To allow the program to run top to bottom without interruption.
  • To change the execution path of the program based on conditions. (correct)
  • To enhance the program's ability to accept multiple inputs.

In the context of the provided age-checking program, what happens if the user's age is less than 18?

  • The program continues to run and displays all available options.
  • The program outputs a message and terminates. (correct)
  • The program ignores the age input and runs normally.
  • The program asks the user to re-enter their age.

Study Notes

Program Flow

  • Programs can change their execution flow based on conditions.
  • This creates different paths for the program to follow.

Boolean Logic

  • George Boole introduced Boolean algebra with truth values of "true" and "false".
  • These values are represented by 1 and 0.
  • In programming, "true" and "false" are used to evaluate statements.
  • For example, the statement "x == 5" is "true" if x is equal to 5, and "false" if x is not equal to 5.

Boolean Operators

  • Operators are used to test the values of variables.
  • Operators are used to evaluate boolean expressions.
  • Examples of Boolean operators:
    • Equal (==): x == 5 (true if x is equal to 5)
    • Not Equal (!=): x != 5 (true if x is not equal to 5)
    • Less than (<): x < 3 (true if x is less than 3)
    • Greater than (>): x > 4 (true if x is greater than 4)
    • Less than or equal to (<=): x <= 6 (true if x is less than or equal to 6)
    • Greater than or equal to (>=): x >= 6 (true if x is greater than or equal to 6)
    • Negation (!): !!(x == 4) (true if x is not equal to 4)
