Logical design that controls order in which set of statements execute
control structure
Set of statements that execute in the order they appear
sequence structure
Specific action(s) performed only if a condition exists
-also known as selection structure
decision structure
In flowchart, diamond represents what
true/false condition that must be tested
Provides only one alternative path of execution
-if condition is not true, exit the structure
single alternative decision structure
Expression tested by if statement to determine if it is true or false
Boolean expression
determines whether a specific relationship exists between two values
-ex: greater than (>)
relational operator
This operator determines whether the two operands are equal to one another
==
This operator determines whether the two operands are not equal
!=
Two possible paths of execution
dual alternative decision structure
Special version of a decision structure
if-elif-else
Operators that can be used to create complex Boolean expressions
logical operators
Deciding the value of a compound Boolean expression after evaluating only one sub expression
short circuit evaluation
References one of two values, True or False
Boolean variable
Variable that signals when some condition exists in a program
Flag
