Decisions Relational operators Operate on two numbers or two

Strings ==, !=, >, >=, <, <= Pay attention to the equality operator,

TWO equal signs. All relational operators result in

boolean value: true or false

Decisions

Compare two Strings Character by character from left to

right Compare their ASCII values Once they are not equal,

comparison stops

Decisions Logical operators

Operate on logical expressions Logical expression: any expression whose value is a boolean value

Three operators:&& --- logical and|| --- logical or! --- logical not

Decisions

Logical “and”: p && q, where p and q are logical expressions Any one of p and q is false

the result is false Both p and q must be true to

get the result true.

Decisions

Logical “or”: p || q, where p and q are logical expressions Any one of p and q is true the result is true

Both p and q must be false to get the result false.

Decisions

Logical “not”: !p, where p is a logical expression If p is true, !p is false if p is false, !p is true

Decisions

Truth table T --- True, F --- False

P q P && q p || q !pT T T T F

T F F T F

F T F T T

F F F F T

if statement switch statement

if statement

Simple if statementif (condition) {statements;

}if condition is true, execute the statements, otherwise skip it.

if statement

if-else statementif (condition) {

Tstatements;} else {

Fstatements;} if condition is true, execute the

Tstatements if condition is false, execute the

Fstatements

Multi-choice if statementif (condition 1) {

statements 1;} else if (condition 2){

statements 2;} else if …………[ else {

last statements;} ]

Multi-choice if statementIf condition 1 is true, execute statements

1 Go out of the if statement;If condition 1 is false, check condition2. If

condition 2 is true, execute statements 2 Go out of the if statement;

……If all conditions are falsea) if there is an else statement, execute the

laststatementsb) if there is no else statement, simply go

out the if statement.

Multi-choice if statement At most one set of the

statements is executed!!! The conditions should be exclusive and not overlapped.

switch and case statementswitch (expression) {

case constant1:statements1;break;

case constant2:statement2;break;

……[ default:

default statements; ]}

switch and case statementexpression --- an integer expression

Start with version 7, expression could be an String expression

constant1, constant2… --- integer constantsIn version 7, could use String constants

switch and case statementIf expression equals constant1, statements1 is

executed; Go out of the switch statement;If expression does not equals constant1, check

constatant2, if they are equal, statements2 is executed; Go out of the switch statement;

……If the expression does not equal to any constant, a) if there is a default clause, execute the

defaultstatementsb) if there is no default clause, simply go out the

switch statement.

switch and case statement At most one set of the

statements is executed!!! The constants should be different.

Programming Problems

1. Write a program that reads the number of hours (less than 60) worked in a week and hourly rate from the console, computes the gross income and displays the result on the console. Note that if the worked more than 40 hours, the extra hours should pay 1.5 times of the base rate.

2. Write a program that reads the grades (20-100) from the console, computes the letter grade and displays it on the console. 20-59: F; 60-69: D; 70-79: C; 80-89: B; 90-100: A.
