1. Chapter 4 : Selection Structures: if and switch statement By Suraya Alias

2.  Control structures Control the flow of execution in a program function. It enables you to combine individual instructions into a single logical unit with one entry point and one exit point. Instructions are organized into three kinds of control execution flow: 1.Sequence 2.Selection 3.Repetition  Compound Statement Is written as a group of statements bracketed by { and }; used to specify sequential flow. 1-2

3.  Example of compound statement: { Statement 1; Statement 2;.. }  It controls flow from statement 1 to statement 2 and so on  Selection Control Structure A control structure that chooses among alternative program statements 1-3

4.  An expression that is either false (represented by 0) or true (represented by 1) Example : rest_heart_rate > 75 Is true (1) if the value of rest_heart_rate is over 75 and false (0) if vice versa.  Relational and Equality Operator: 1-4 OperatorMeaningType <Less thanRelational >Greater thanRelational <=Less than or equal toRelational >=Greater than or equal toRelational ==Equal toEquality !=Not equal toequality

5.  Unary Operator – an operator that has one operand  Binary Operators – an operator that has two operands  Logical Operators 1. && (and) 2. || (or) 3. ! (not)  We can form logical expression using logical operators  Example : 1. salary 5 This expression evaluates to 1 (true) if either the condition salary 5 is true 2. Temperature > 90.0 && humidity > 0.90 This expression evaluates to true only when BOTH conditions are true 1-5

6. Operand 1Operand 2Operand1 && Operand2 True/1 False/0 True/1False/0 Operand 1Operand 2Operand1 || Operand2 True/1 False/0True/1 False/0True/1 False/0 Operand 1!Operand 1 TrueFalse 01 1-6

7. 1-7 Short circuit evaluation – stopping evaluation of a logical Expression as soon as the value can be determined

8. 1-8 Test whether x lies within the range min through max (inclusive) The inclusive range is shaded. The expression is 1(true) if x lies within this range and 0 (false) If x is outside the range.

9. 1-9 X and Y are greater than Z The shaded area represents the values of x that yields a TRUE result

10.  If statement with TWO alternatives if (rest_heart_rate > 56) printf(“keep up your exercise program”) else Printf(“Your heart is in excellent health”) Form : if (condition) statement true; else statement false; 1- 10

11.  If statement with ONE alternative if (x !=0.0) product = product * x; Form : if (condition) statement true; 1- 11

13. if ( money > 10.00) { printf(“lunch at McD”); balance = money–10.00; } else { Printf(“lunch at home”) balance = money; } if (condition){ True task } else { false task } 1- 13

15. 1- 15

16.  Decision steps – an algorithm step that selects one of several action. Coded in IF statements.  Pseudo-code – a combination of English phrases and C constructs to describe algorithm steps. Example : Algorithm for comp_late_charge Psuedocode:C program; If unpaid > 0if (unpaid > 0) Assess late charge late_charge = LATE_C; Elseelse Access no late charge late_charge = 0.0; return (late_charge)  Cohesive Function – a function that performs a single operation 1- 16

24.  Nested if statement An if statement with another if statement as its true task or its false task 1- 24 If (x>0) num_pos = num_pos + 1; Else if (x < 0) /*nested if*/ num_neg = num_neg + 1; else /*x equals 0*/ num_zero = num_zero + 1;

32.  Can be used in C to select one of several alternative  Useful when the selection is based on the value of a single variable or of a simple expression (called the controlling expression)  The value of this expression may be type int or char but not double.  First the value in variable class is evaluated, then the list of case label is searched until it matches the value  Statement following the matching case label are executed until a break statement is encountered. 1- 32 Class IDShip class B or b C or c D or d F or f Battleship Cruiser Destroyer Frigate
