  1. CONTROL STRUCTURES(MULTI-WAY SELECTION)

  2. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • EXTENDED IF-ELSE • Used to select exactly one task out of multiple tasks (or possibly none) • Unlike a series of “ifs” evaluation stops once one relational expression evaluates as true (others are skipped) • Always does on less evaluation than a series of “ifs” • Well planned implementation provides for efficiency – most common choice is listed first

  3. MULTIPLE SELECTION • EXTENDED IF-ELSE - SIMPLE • if ( relational expression(s) ) statement; else if ( relational expression(s) ) statement; else if ( relational expression(s) ) statement; else statement;

  4. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • EXTENED IF-ELSE - COMPOUND • if ( relational expression(s) ) { statement; statement(s); } else if ( relational expression(s) ) { statement; statement(s); } else if ( relational expression(s) ) { statement; statement(s); }

  5. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • RULES 1. First statement(s) will be executed if and only if the evaluation of the relational expression(s) is/are true. 2. Second statement(s) will be executed if and only if the evaluation of the first relational expression(s) is/are false and if and only if the evaluation of the second relational expression(s) is/are true. 3. Same progression as 1 and 2 for all levels that exist. Note: This process does not have to end with two, three or four selections, but can continue for as many selections as needed.

  6. MULTIPLE SELECTION • EXAMPLES: if (numStudents< 6) salary = hours * CLUSTER_RATE; else if (numStudents < 12) salary = hours * LIMITED_RATE; else salary = hours * FULL_RATE

  7. MULTIPLE SELECTION • EXAMPLES: if (temperature <= 10) cout << “Go Bowling” << endl; else if (temperature <= 32) cout << “Go Skiing” << endl; else if (temperature <= 70) cout << “Play Football” << endl; else if (temperature <= 85) { cout << “Play Tennis” << endl; cout << “Wear white!” << endl; } else cout << “Go Swimming” << endl; if (temperature > 85) cout << “Go Swimming” << endl; else if (temperature > 70) { cout << “Play Tennis” << endl; cout << “Wear white!” << endl; } else if (temperature > 32) cout << “Play Football” << end; else if (temperature > 10) cout << “Go Skiing” << endl; else cout << “Go Bowling” << endl;

  8. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • NESTED IF-ELSE • Situations where action is dependent upon two or more different conditions • Examples: if (gender == ‘M’) if (age < MAX_AGE) cout << “Male and under 67.” << endl; else cout << “Male and 67 or over.” << endl; else if (age < MAX_AGE) cout << “Female and under 67.” << endl; else cout << “Female and 67 or over.” << endl; if (savings >= DOLLAR_LIMIT) if (vacation >= VACATION_LIMIT) cout << “Trip to Hawaii” << endl; else cout << “Vacation at local ski resort.” << endl; else cout << “Go camping in mountains.” << endl;

  9. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • SWITCH • Alternate form of multi-way selection • Decision can only be made on integral or enumerated data types (bool, char, int) • Does not work with strings or floating point numbers • Only works when testing for specific values • Does not work with ranges

  10. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • SWITCH - SIMPLE • switch (selector) { case choice1: statement; break; case choice2: statement; break; case choice3: statement; break; “ “ case choice(n): statement; }

  11. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • SWITCH – WITH DEFAULT • switch (selector) { case choice1: statement; break; case choice2: statement; break; “ “ case choice(n): statement; break; default: statement; statement(s); }

  12. MULTIPLE SELECTION • SWITCH – COMPOUND • switch (selector) { case choice1: statement; statement(s); break; case choice2: statement; statemant(s); break; “ “ case choice(n): statement; statement(s); break; default: statement; statement(s); }

  13. MULTIPLE SELECTION • RULES 1. Selector may only be an integral data type (int, char, bool, or enumerated). 2. Corresponding statement(s) is/are executed if choice is equal to the selector. 3. After corresponding statement(s) are executed if break is not present additional case statements are executed until a break is found or end of structure is found. 4. If no choice is equal to the selector, the switch is exited unless a default is available.

  14. MULTIPLE SELECTION • EXAMPLES: switch(category) { case 1: cout << “Category One” << endl; break; case 2: cout << “Category Two” << endl; break; : : case n: cout << “Category n” << endl; break; }

  15. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • EXAMPLE: int num1, num2, answer; char choice; cout << "Enter two numbers, separated by a space: "; cin >> num1 >> num2; cout << endl << endl; cout << "Perform which operation on the Numbers?" << endl; cout << " a - Add" << endl; cout << " s - Subtract" << endl; cout << " m - Mulitply" << endl; cout << " d - Divide" << endl; cout << "Enter your choice from above: " << endl; cin >> choice; choice = tolower (choice); switch (choice) { case 'a‘: answer = num1 + num2; cout << "The sum is " << answer << endl; break; case 's‘: answer = num1 - num2; cout << "The difference is " << answer << endl; break; case 'm‘: answer = num1 * num2; cout << "The product is " << answer << endl; break; case 'd‘: answer = num1 / num2; cout << "The quotient is " << answer << endl; break; default : cout << "Invalid choice entered!" << endl; } // end switch

  16. MULTI-WAY SELECTION • EXAMPLE: char answer; cout << "Would you like to continue [Y] or [N]?" << endl; cin >> answer; switch (answer) { case 'Y': case 'y‘: cout << "You chose yes" << endl; cout << "Way to go." << endl; break; case 'N': case 'n‘: cout << "You chose no" << endl; cout << "Not very positive." << endl; break; default : cout << "You were suppose to choose Y or N." << endl; cout << "What happened?" << endl; } // end switch
