Statements, Expressions and

Control Flow


2/44

controls the sequence of execution,evaluates an expression, or does nothing(the null statement)

Basically all lines of code

What is a statement?


3/44

Any place you can put a single statement,you can put a compound statement, alsocalled a block.

Non-strictly speaking, we can say that ablock of code acts as one statement.

Block or compound statements


4/44

Anything that evaluates to a value.Expressions are said to return a value.

PI

SecondsPerMinute

x = a + b; return value is x

y = x = a + b; return value is y

What is an expression?


5/44

a symbol that causes the compiler to takean action

Operators act on operands. All operands

are expressions.

Operators


6/44

= x = a + b;

lvalue term used for an operand thatcan be on the left side of an assignmentoperator

rvalue ?

Example: x = 35; 35 = x; // error, 35 not an lvalue

Assignment operator


7/44

+, -, *, /, %(modulo)

Some notes:

subtraction of unsigned integers that lead tonegative values can produce unpredictable results

beware of division!

Mathematical Operators


8/44

you can put the same variable on the sameside of the assignment operator myVal = myVal + 2;

you can also use a shorthand notation(called the self-assigned additionoperator): myVal += 2;

myVal /= 2;

Notes on assignment and math operators


9/44

c++; c = c + 1;

c +=1;

c--;

Note: do not use increment or decrementas subexpressions of a larger expression: ((n+2) * (++n)) + 5;

Increment and decrement


10/44

postfix: x++;

prefix: ++x;

When value is not assigned to another

variable no effect. int x = 6, y = 6;

int a = ++x; // a = x = x+1

int b = y++; // b = y; y = y + 1;

The value of x and y is of course 7. a = 7, b = 6

prefix and postfix


11/44

*, /, % +, -

=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=

Use parentheses to control precedence

Precedence


12/44

Not-so-good: EffortSpent = (((NumDays NumWeekends)

* 24)*(NumSupervisors + NumEngrs));

Better:

ActualDays = NumDays NumWeekends;

ActualHours = ActualDays * 24;

NumPeople = NumSupervisors + NumEngrs;

EffortSpent = ActualHours * NumPeople;

Note on Nesting parentheses


13/44

In C++, zero is considered false, all othervalues are considered true.

Note: there is a data type bool whosevalue can only be TRUE or FALSE.

Program flow is controlled by whether acertain condition is TRUE or FALSE.

Truth


14/44

used to compare whether two numbersare equal, or if one is greater or less thanthe other.

equals ==

not equals !=

greater than >

greater than or equals >=

less than y and y>z?

AND && (x > y) && (y > z)x>y and y>z

OR ||(x > y) || (y > z)

(x > y) or (y > z)

NOT ! !(x > y)is it NOT true that x > y?

enables us to branch to different parts ofour code by testing for conditions

if (expression)

statement;

note that a block can replace anystatement:

if (expression){

statement1;

statement2;

}

else statement4;

Nested IFs


24/44

It can cause by difficult to debug run-timeerrors

if (x > 10)

if (x > 100)

else if (expression2)

statement4;

ELSE IF


26/44

the only ternary operator; i.e. onlyoperator with 3 terms.

(expression1) ? (expression2) :

(expression3)

this reads: if expression1 is true, returnthe value of expression2; else, return thevalue of expression3

absValue = a>b ? a-b : b-a;

Conditional Operator


27/44

Write a program that outputs High if the value of thevariable is greater than 10, and Low if otherwise. Thevariable is of type int and is inputted by the user.

Write a program that obtains input from the user ahigh_value, a low_value and a value from the user. Yourprogram should inform the user if the value is out of range!;otherwise, output thank you!

Enter high value: 10

Enter low value: 3

Enter your choice: 2

value out of range!

Write a program similar to number 1 except that it will inform

the user of the 3 following possibilities: a) number


28/44

Write a program that computes the absolutevalue of the difference of two user inputtedintegers.

similar to the IF statement. allows multi-way branches.

it is less flexible than IF-ELSE becauseswitch statements use constants.

switch


30/44

switch (controlling_expression) { case constant1:

statement_sequence_1;

break;

case constant2:

statement_sequence_2;

break;

default:

default_statement_sequence; }

if you forget a break statement, your codewill continue until a break statement fromanother case statement is reached or untilthe end of the switch statement

38/44



for (; numOfGreetings > 0; numOfGreetings--

){

cout


39/44

int numOfGreetings; cin >> numOfGreetings;

for (int i=0; i


40/44

when exit conditions are not satisfied,the program continues to loop forever

your program will hang

Infinite loops

break and continue


41/44

used to alter the flows of while, do-whileand for statements

break

ends the nearest enclosing loop

continue

ends the current loop iteration of the nearestenclosing loop

break and continue

The LeVan Car Rental Company charges30PhP/km if the total mileage is less than100km. If the total mileage is over 100, thecompany charges 30PhP/km for the first 100

km, then it charges 20PhP for any additionalkm over 100. The company gives a 500PhPdiscount for total mileage more than 500km.

Write a program so that the clerk has to input

the number of kilometers and the programwill output the total price
