Decision Operators and Logical Operators
Decision Operators
• Decision operators are used in conditional statements to evaluate the truth of
a given expression.
• There are two decision operators:
1. true : returns true if the condition is true; otherwise, it returns false.
2. false : returns false if the condition is true; otherwise, it returns true.
Boolean Variables in Conditions
• A boolean variable is a variable that holds a boolean value, which can be
either true or false.
• Boolean variables are often used in conditions to make decisions based on
their values.
Logical Operators
• Logical operators are used to create more complex conditions by combining
multiple expressions.
• There are three logical operators:
1. && (logical AND): returns true if both expressions are true
2. || (logical OR): returns true if at least one of the expressions is true
3. ! (logical NOT): returns the opposite value of the expression
Implementing Logical Operators
• Logical operators can be implemented using decision operators.
• For example, the following expression uses decision operators to compute
the result of x > 5 && x < 10 :
bool result = (x > 5) && (x < 10)
, • When x is not between 5 and 10 (inclusive), result will be false;
otherwise, result will be true.
In summary, using decision operators and logical operators we can create well -defined
and clear conditions with boolean variables. The key is to understand that logical
operators can be implemented using decision operators and that they allow us to
create complex conditions.
Boolean Variables in Conditions
In programming, a boolean variable is a variable that can only take one of two
values: true or false . Boolean variables are often used in conditions to control
the flow of a program.
Arithmetic and Relational Operators
Before discussing boolean variables and conditions, it's important to
understand arithmetic and relational operators.
• Arithmetic operators: Perform mathematical operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus.
• Relational operators: Compare two values and return a boolean value based
on the comparison result.
Here are some examples of arithmetic and relational operators:
| Arithmetic operators | Relational operators | | --- | --- | | + (addition) | == (equal to) | |
- (subtraction) | != (not equal to) | | * (multiplication) | < (less than) | | / (division) | >
(greater than) | | % (modulus) | <= (less than or equal to) | | | >= (greater than or equal
to) |
Decision Operators and Logical Operators
Decision operators are used to test a condition and execute different code based on
the result. The most commonly used decision operator is the if statement.
Logical operators are used to combine multiple conditions together to form a more
complex condition. The most commonly used logical operators are:
• and : Returns true if both conditions are true
