4 Algorithm Development and Control Statements: Part 1

Objectives

In this chapter you’ll:

• Learn basic problem-solving techniques.

• Develop algorithms through the process of top-down, stepwise refinement.

• Use the if and if…else selection statements to choose between alternative actions.

• Use the while iteration statement to execute statements in a program repeatedly.

• Use counter-controlled iteration and sentinel-controlled iteration.

• Use nested control statements.

• Use the compound assignment operator and the increment and decrement operators.

• Learn about the portability of fundamental data types.
