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 < 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.
