    Study Notes

    Operators and Variables

    • The relational operator is used to determine if a specific relationship exists between two values.
    • A boolean variable references one of two values, True or False.

    Decision Structures

    • The syntax for a dual alternative decision structure in Python uses the if and else keywords.
    • The first line of an if statement in Python is known as the condition or conditional expression.
    • The keyword if signifies the start of a conditional statement in Python syntax.
    • A diamond shape in a flowchart represents a decision or conditional statement.

    Conditional Execution

    • If the condition in an if statement is false and there is no else clause, the program will simply skip the if block and continue executing the rest of the code.
    • A flag is used in programming to control the flow of a program's execution.
    • A boolean variable is used to control the flow of a program's execution.

    Flowcharts and Control Structures

    • A diamond in a flowchart represents a decision or conditional statement.
    • A control structure refers to a logical design that controls the order in which a set of statements execute.
    • A decision structure provides two or more alternative paths of execution.
    • A conditional structure allows actions to be performed only when a specified condition is true.
    • A conditional structure is used to perform a specific action only if a condition exists.

    Comparisons and Operations

    • The result of the expression $10 = x &lt; 20 is True if x is between 10 and 20, and False otherwise.
    • String comparisons using relational operators are case sensitive when comparing strings.
    • Relational operators determine if a specific relationship exists between two values.
