Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

FLOW OF CONTROL The flow of control jumps from one part of the program to another,depending on calculations performed in the program. Program statements that cause such jumps are called control statements. There are two major categories: loops and decisions.

Slide 2: 

STATEMENTS Compound Simple Selection/Decision Iteration/Loop Flelse Switch care For While Do-While Jump statements Break Continue Go to Return Exit FLOW OF CONTROL

statements : 

statements Statements are the instructions given to the computer to perform any kind of action , be it data movements, be it making decisions or be it repeating actions. COMPOUND STATEMENT (BLOCK ) A compound statement in C++ is a requence of statements enclosed by a pair of branches { }. { statements 1 ; statements 2 ; : : } represents a compound statement

Statement flow control : 

Statement flow control Sequence = The sequence construct means the statements are being executed sequentially. This represents the default flow of statement. STATEMENT 1 STATEMENT 2 STATEMENT 3 The sequence construct

Slide 5: 

Selection = The selection construct means the execution of statements depending upon a condition evaluates true, a set of statements is followed. Condition ? Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 1 Statement 2 true A set of statements Another set of statement The selection construction

Slide 6: 

if-else Statement Syntax Formal syntax:if (<boolean_expression>) <yes_statement>else <no_statement> Note each alternative is only ONE statement! To have multiple statements execute ineither branch  use compound statement

Slide 7: 

Note indenting in this example:if (myScore > yourScore){ cout << "I win!\n"; wager = wager + 100;}else{ cout << "I wish these were golf scores.\n"; wager = 0;} Compound Statement in Action

Slide 8: 

Nested Statements if-else statements contain smaller statements Compound or simple statements (we’ve seen) Can also contain any statement at all, including another if-else stmt! Example:if (speed > 55) if (speed > 80) cout << "You’re really speeding!"; else cout << "You’re speeding."; Note proper indenting!

Slide 9: 

The switch Statement A new stmt for controlling multiple branches Uses controlling expression which returns bool data type (true or false)

Slide 11: 

The switch: multiple case labels Execution "falls through" until break switch provides a "point of entry" Example:case "A":case "a": cout << "Excellent: you got an "A"!\n"; break;case "B":case "b": cout << "Good: you got a "B"!\n"; break; Note multiple labels provide same "entry"

Slide 12: 

switch Pitfalls/Tip Forgetting the break; No compiler error Execution simply "falls through" other cases until break; Biggest use: MENUs Provides clearer "big-picture" view Shows menu structure effectively Each branch is one menu choice

Slide 13: 

Loops cause a section of your program to be repeated a certain number of times. The repetition continues while a condition is true. When the condition becomes false, the loop ends and control passes to the statements following the loop. LOOP

Slide 14: 

Iteration = The iteration construct means repetition of a set of statements depending upon a condition - test. Till the time a condition true { or false depending upon the loop }, a set-of-statements are repeated again and again. As soon as the condition becomes false { or true }, Condition ? Statement 1 Statement 2 The loop body False The exit condition True The interaction construct

Slide 15: 

3 Types of loops in C++ for Natural "counting" loop do-while Least flexible Always executes loop body at least once while Most flexible No "restrictions“

Slide 16: 

For Loop Syntax for (Init_Action; Bool_Exp; Update_Action) Body_Statement Like if-else, Body_Statement can bea block statement

Slide 17: 

For Loop Example for (count=0;count<3;count++) { cout << "Hi "; // Loop Body} How many times does loop body execute? Initialization, loop condition and update all"built into" the for-loop structure! A natural "counting" loop

Slide 18: 

while Loop Syntax

Slide 19: 

while Loop Example Consider:count = 0; // Initializationwhile (count < 3) // Loop Condition{ cout << "Hi "; // Loop Body count++; // Update expression} Loop body executes how many times?

Slide 20: 

Do while Loop Syntax

Slide 21: 

Do while Loop Example count = 0; // Initializationdo { cout << "Hi "; // Loop Body count++; // Update expression} while (count < 3); // Loop Condition Loop body executes how many times? do-while loops always execute body at least once!

Slide 22: 

Loop Issues Loop’s condition expression can be ANY boolean expression Examples: while (count<3 && done!=0){ // Do something} for (index=0;index<10 && entry!=-99){ // Do something}

Slide 23: 

Loop Pitfalls: Misplaced ; Watch the misplaced ; (semicolon) Example:while (response != 0) ;{ cout << "Enter val: "; cin >> response;} Notice the ";" after the while condition! Result here: INFINITE LOOP!

Slide 24: 

Loop Pitfalls: Infinite Loops Loop condition must evaluate to false atsome iteration through loop If not  infinite loop. Example:while (1){ cout << "Hello ";} A perfectly legal C++ loop  always infinite!

Slide 25: 

The break and continue Statement Flow of Control Recall how loops provide "graceful" and clear flow of control in and out In RARE instances, can alter natural flow break; Forces loop to exit immediately. continue; Skips rest of loop body These statements violate natural flow Only used when absolutely necessary!

Slide 26: 

Nested Loops Recall: ANY valid C++ statements can beinside body of loop This includes additional loop statements! Called "nested loops" Requires careful indenting:for (outer=0; outer<5; outer++) for (inner=7; inner>2; inner--) cout << outer << inner; Notice no { } since each body is one statement Good style dictates we use { } anyway
