Action 3

Boolean expression in test Simple expression

Format <Value> <relational operators> <Value>

Number value relational operators, Table 3-1, page 111 ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=

!!! Number one error: “(a=2)” instead of “(a==2)” char value (not string!) relational operators

==, != (page 118)

Complex expression &&, ||, ! (Table 3-4, page 135) Truth table

Development of a correct decision program Grade.java

Identify two exclusive options Implement each handling in different action parts Identify the situation (values) for option selection Make an expression so that all the situation value for

option part 1 will lead to the test result (boolean value) true.

Verify all the situation value for option part 2 will lead to the test false, otherwise, revise the above expression!
