Programming
Concepts
Programming is the art of instructing computers to perform
specific tasks. This presentation explores two fundamental
concepts: Computational Instructions and Conditional
Transfer of Control.
Group 2
Computational Instructions
1 Arithmetic Operations 2 Assignment
Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Assigning values to variables
Multiplication (*), Division (/)
Example: x = 10
Example: result = 10 + 5
3 Method Calls 4 Comparison Operations
Invoking predefined or user-defined Comparing values to determine
functions relationships
Example: Example: if (x > y) { ... }
System.out.println("Hello,
World!");
Conditional Transfer of Control
1 If-else Statements
Execute code based on logical conditions
2 Switch Statements
Evaluate multiple conditions and execute corresponding code
3 Conditional Expressions
Use the ternary operator to make simple decisions
Examples
If-else StatementsSwitch Statements
Example Example
if (x > 0) { int day = 1;
System.out.println("Positive"); switch (day) {
} else { case 1:
System.out.println("Non-positive"); System.out.println("Sunday");
} break;
case 2:
System.out.println("Monday");
break;
// Other cases...
}
Conditional Expressions
Example
String result = (num % 2 == 0) ? "Even" : "Odd";
