Branching Statements

Page 19

Looping Statements

if statement

else clause

relational operator

logical operator

while statement

Fibonacci number

break statement

Branching Statements

change the control flow of a program by executing one or more different branches

of the code.

Looping Statements

statements that cause the flow of the program to repeat or loop over a section o f

code.

if statement

a statement conditionally executes a block of code .

else clause

a clause at the end of an if statement that defines a section of code to be executed

if the condition in the if is not true.

relational operator

operators such as ==, !=, and <, that compare two values. These operators are used

to test the relationship between two values.

logical operators

Operators perform the logical functions “and,” “or,” and “not”.

while statement

a looping statement that will repeatedly execute a section of code until its

condition becomes false.

Fibonacci number

a number in a series that starts out with “1 1”. Each element of the series from

here on is the sum of the previous two numbers.

break statement

a statement that when executed exits a loop.

Teacher’s Notes

At this point our students know enough to write programs. Very simple programs, but real, useful
