Control Structures I (Selection)

In this chapter you will:
• Learn about control structures
• Examine relational and logical operators
• Explore how to form and evaluate logical
(Boolean) expressions
• Discover how to use the selection control structures if , if ...
else , and switch in a program

• A computer can process:
– In sequence
– Selectively (branch) - making a choice
– Repetitively (iteratively) - looping
• Some statements are executed only if certain conditions are met
• A condition is represented by a logical (Boolean) expression that can be true or false
• A condition is met if it evaluates to true

• We have seen sequencing in C++.
• How do we translate selection and repetition structures into C++?
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 5

• Selection structures can be translated into C++ using if statements.
• Four forms of selection structures will be looked at:
– One-Way
– Two-Way
– Nested
– Switch
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 6

• The syntax of one-way selection is: if (expression) statement
• statement expression is executed only if the value of is true
• expression is usually a logical expression.
• if is a reserved word
• statement must be a single C++ statement.

• Refer prog03.1.cpp
.
– Examine the source code. Focus on the if statements.
– What do you think the output would be for the following input?
• Price per unit: RM25 Quantity: 4
• Price per unit: RM5.50 Quantity: 5
– Run the program with the above input. Is the output generated the same as expected?
– Draw a flowchart representing the algorithm implemented in the program.
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 10

• Two-way selection takes the form: if (expression) statement1 else statement2
• If expression is true , statement1 is executed.
Otherwise, statement2 is executed
• else is a reserved word
• statement1 and statement2 must both be single C++ statements.

• Refer prog03.2.cpp
.
– Examine the source code. Focus on the if statements.
– What do you think the output would be for the following input?
• Number of adults: 2 Number of children: 2
Ticket type: First class
• Number of adults: 2 Number of children: 2
Ticket type: Economy
– Run the program with the above input. Is the output generated the same as expected?
– Draw a flowchart representing the algorithm implemented in the program.
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 14

• Observe that prog03.2.cpp
includes the following declarations: const float PRICE_FIRST_CLASS = 30.00; const float PRICE_ECONOMY = 5.00;
The identifiers PRICE_FIRST_CLASS and
PRICE_ECONOMY are called constants. Their values cannot be changed during program execution.
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 15

• Consider the following structure: input num num = 0?
false true print warning num ← 10 result ← sum / num
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 16

• Note that there are two statements to be executed if num is equal to 0.
• Is it correct to translate the above to C++ as follows?
cin >> num; if (num == 0) cout << "Invalid value!"; num = 10; result = sum / num;
• Answer: No. According to C++ syntax, the statement num = 10; is actually not part of the if statement .
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 17

• In this case, we need to use a compound statement to group those statements into a single statement.
• A compound statement is simply a set of single statements enclosed within curly brackets.
{ statement_1;
… statement_n;
}
• Remember that a compound statement is a single
C++ statement.
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 18

• Example: cin >> num; if (num == 0)
{ cout << "Invalid value!"; num = 10;
} result = sum / num; compound statement
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 19

• Consider the syntax of a one-way if statement: if (expression) statement
• You might ask: Could statement be another if statement?
Example: if (weight > 100) if (weight <= 1000) price = 0.20 * weight;
What does it mean?
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 20

FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 21

• Can also be written as follows (remember that the compiler ignores unnecessary whitespace characters):

• C++ always associates an else with the closest unpaired if .
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 27

• switch structure: alternate to if-else .
• Example:
Execute the statements inside the switch structure starting from the case which matches the value of the expression switch (code) { case 1: cout << "one"; case 2:
First, evaluate the switch expression cout << "two"; default : cout << "Error";
}
If there is no match, start from the default case
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 28

• Refer prog03.4.cpp
.
– Examine the source code. Focus on the switch statement.
– Observe that there are return statements in the switch statement.
• What do you think will happen if they are executed?
• Why do you think they are there for?
– What do you think the output would be for the following input?
• 2 adults, 2 children, normal first-class ticket

• Expression value can be only integral
• Its value determines which statement is selected for execution
• A particular case value should appear only once
• One or more statements may follow a case label
• Braces are not needed to turn multiple statements into a single compound statement.
• The default case is optional in a switch statement.
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 31

• The break statement may be used to jump out of a switch statement.

FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 34

• When value of the expression is matched against a case value,
– Statements execute until break statement is found or the end of switch structure is reached
• If value of the expression does not match any of the case values
– Statements following the default label execute If no default label, and if no match, the entire switch statement is skipped
• A break statement causes an immediate exit from the switch structure
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 35

• Relational operators:
– Allow comparisons
– Require two operands (binary)
– Return 1 if expression is true
, 0 otherwise
• Comparing values of different data types may produce unpredictable results
– For example, 8 < '5' should not be done
• Any nonzero value is treated as true

FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 40

• Relational operators can be applied to strings
• Strings are compared character by character, starting with the first character
• Comparison continues until either a mismatch is found or all characters are found equal
• If two strings of different lengths are compared and the comparison is equal to the last character of the shorter string
– The shorter string is less than the larger string
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 41

• Suppose we have the following declarations: string str1 = "Hello"; string str2 = "Hi"; string str3 = "Air"; string str4 = "Bill";

• Logical (Boolean) operators enable you to combine logical expressions
• Three logical (Boolean) operators:
!
(not)
&&
(and)
||
(or)
• Logical operators take logical values as operands and yield logical values as results
• !
is unary whereas && and || are binary operators
• Putting !
in front of a logical expression reverses its value

• The bool Data Type and Logical (Boolean)
Expressions
– The data type bool has logical (Boolean) values true and false
bool
, true
, and false are reserved words
– The identifier true has the value 1
– The identifier false has the value 0
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 59

• Logical expressions can be unpredictable
• The following expression appears to represent a comparison of 0 , num , and 10 :
0 <= num <= 10
• It always evaluates true because 0 <= num evaluates to either 0 or 1 , and 0 <= 10 is true and 1 <= 10 is true
• A correct way to write this expression is:
0 <= num && num <= 10
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 60

• Conditional operator ( ?: ) takes three arguments
(ternary)
• Syntax for using the conditional operator: expression1 ? expression2 : expression3
• If expression1 is true , the result of the conditional expression is expression2 . Otherwise, the result is expression3.
• Example: larger = (num1<num2) ? num2 : num1;

FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 62

• For residential customer:
– Bill processing fee: $4.50
– Basic service fee: $20.50
– Premium channel: $7.50 per channel
• For business customer:
– Bill processing fee: $15.00
– Basic service fee: $75.00 for first 10 connections and $5.00 for each additional connection
– Premium channel cost: $50.00 per channel for any number of connections

FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 65

• The purpose of the program is to calculate and print billing amount
• Calculating the billing amount requires:
– Customer for whom the billing amount is calculated
(residential or business)
– Number of premium channels to which the customer subscribes
• For a business customer, you need:
– Number of basic service connections
– Number of premium channels
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 66

• Data needed to calculate the bill, such as bill processing fees and the cost of a premium channel, are known quantities
• The program should print the billing amount to two decimal places
FTSM :: TK1914, 20112012 67

• Set precision to two decimal places
• Prompt user for account number and customer type
• If customer type is R or r
– Prompt user for number of premium channels
– Compute and print the bill
• If customer type is B or b
– Prompt user for number of basic service connections and number of premium channels
– Compute and print the bill
