Loop
A structure that repeats while some condition continues to be true.
Types of loops
While (pre-test)
While loop
pre-test loop. Always based on a boolean expression
Types of while loops
Sentinel
Sentinel-controlled While loop
continues until a certain value (variable or constant) is met.
Count-controlled While loop
uses a numeric variable to count the repetitions until the boolean expression is met.
Flag-controlled loop
uses a boolean variable as the loop control variable.
Do-until loop
test is done after the main loop structure executes
For loop
automatically initializes the loop control variable
Nesting loops
loops may be put within other loops.
File
A type of data made of records (usually text) which can be read by a program.
Give 5 examples of input devices?
1. Mouse 2. key board 3. microphone 4. touch screen 5. scanner
Define the term output device?
Output is a device that is used to see all the data you inputted into the computer.
Give 5 examples of output device
1. speakers 2. printer 3. headphones 4. projector 5. monitor
Define the term processing device?
A processing device is a type of hardware that tranfers the inpuuted data to an output device.
Define the term input device?
Input is a device where a piece of hardware that is used to put data into the computer system.
When you declare an object...
...the name is a memory address, or reference.
Name the three control structures
Sequence
In a sequence structure...
...you perform a sequence of events
In a selection (decision) structure...
...you ask a question
How many types of selection structures are there?
Single alternative/unary (if-then)
Repetition structure
Also known as an Iteration or Loop structure. In this structure
While loop/while-do loop
In these loops
Stacking
attaching structures end to end.
Nesting
putting a structure within another.
do-until loop
makes sure a procedure executes at least once
Priming read/priming input
beginning statement in a structure.
Block
a group of statements that execute as a whole.
Boolean expressions/logic
only has two states: true or false. Boolean expressions work in the selection structure.
Boolean operators

are NOT,AND,OR. Boolean operators follow an order of operations that is as follows, NOT,AND,OR.
These operators create what are know as Compound conditions.
NOT operator
Reverses the meaning of a boolean expression. NOT is evaluated first.
AND operator
combines decisions so that both/all must be true for an action to occur.
AND is evaluated second (or first
if there is no NOT operator).
OR operator
combines decisions so that only one must be true for an action to occur. OR is evaluated last.
Boolean orders of operations
Parenthesis/brackets
Relational comparison operators
symbols that express boolean operations such as =,<,>,<=,>=
Case structure
A convenient alternative to other structures. Allows one selection between multiple alternatives by testing a variable between several values. Replaces if-then-else structure.
what is the smallest number that can be represented in 8 bits?
- 128
