A conditional statement in Python programming is a type of statement that compares the values of two or more operands. An operand refers to the data that is used by the program either for comparison, manipulation, or mathematical operation. An operand can be: ▪ a value inputted by the user ▪ a value set by the programmer inside the program The results of the comparison using a conditional statement can result to either a TRUE or FALSE response. ▪ The TRUE response signifies that the values of operands are equal to one another or it is within the range provided by one of the operands. ▪ The FALSE response indicates that the values of operands are not equal to one another or it is outside the range provided by one of the operands.

- 1. 1 | 8 USING CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS: SWITCH STATEMENTS Java Programming – Using Conditional Statements: Switch Statements WHAT IS A CONDITIONAL STATEMENT? A conditional statement in Python programming is a type of statement that compares the values of two or more operands. An operand refers to the data that is used by the program either for comparison, manipulation, or mathematical operation. An operand can be: ▪ a value inputted by the user ▪ a value set by the programmer inside the program The results of the comparison using a conditional statement can result to either a TRUE or FALSE response. ▪ The TRUE response signifies that the values of operands are equal to one another or it is within the range provided by one of the operands. ▪ The FALSE response indicates that the values of operands are not equal to one another or it is outside the range provided by one of the operands. Programmers commonly use truth tables to determine whether the comparison between the data and the values set in the program will yield either a TRUE or FALSE response. The truth table is a visual representation that displays the inputted data, the set value, the argument, and the response. TRUTH TABLE Inputted Data Set Value Argument Response 8 5 8 > 5 True 20 20 20 != 20 False Yes Yes Yes == Yes True F f F == f False 25 15 25 >= 15 True In this lecture, we have to operands labelled as inputted data and set value. The “inputted data” refers to the data that was entered by the user in the program. The “set value” is the data that was specifically assigned in the program. The set value will serve as our basis for comparison that will check whether inputted data is equal to it or within its range. The “argument” is a statement that indicates how the operands are being compared to one another. Arguments in Python are expressed by using comparison operators. The comparison operators available in Python programming were as follows: COMPARISON OPERATOR DEFINITION SAMPLE STATEMENT == A comparison operator that checks if the operands are EQUAL to one another. a == b != A comparison operator that checks if the operands are NOT EQUAL to one another. a != b > A comparison operator that checks if value on the left side of the argument is GREATER THAN the value on the right side of the argument. a > b < A comparison operator that checks if value on the left side of the argument is LESS THAN the value on the right side of the argument. a < b >= A comparison operator that checks if value on the left side of the argument is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO the value on the right side of the argument. a >= b <= A comparison operator that checks if value on the left side of the argument is LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO the value on the right side of the argument. a <= b The “response” serves as the result of comparing the operands. The response can either be TRUE or FALSE based on the conditions that will determine whether the operands matches or does not match with one another.

The switch statement is a type of conditional statement that is used to execute a block of code by comparing an operand to a specific value that was set in the program. The switch statement uses conditions that are labeled as cases. Each case is composed of the case, executable block of code and a break statement. Consider this example of a case: Case It refers to the statement that contains the condition. In the source code above, the line case “January”: details the condition where it asks if the operand presented to it is equal to January. Executable Block of Code The executable block of codes contains the instructions that the program will have to perform once the condition on the case matches the value of the operand. In our source code sample, the messages "The month is named after the Roman God, Janus." and "The presider of doors and beginnings." will be displayed on the screen if the operand is equal to January. If the operand fails to match the condition, the program will skip reading the executable block of code and jump directly to the next case. Break Statement The break statement indicates the end of the case. It signals the program to stop reading the next line of codes within the switch statement. If the program reached the line that contains the break; statement, the program will skip all other conditions and jump to the line of code that is outside the switch statement.

In our previous sessions, we have learned that the scanner is a class in Java program that enables the program to get input from the user ▪ Line 4 contains the class name of our Java program named “Switch_Statement” while line 5 contains an open bracket ( { ) which indicates the beginning of the class. ▪ Line 7 contains the header of our main program while line 8 contains an open bracket ( { ) which indicates the beginning of the program body. ▪ On Line 9 we introduced our scanner to the program and assigned the name “mitis” to it. The new Scanner statement declares mitis as a new scanner in the program that takes in inputs from the user by using the System.in function. ▪ Line 10 is used to display message on the screen using the print ( ) function. The line explicitly instructed the program to show the message “Enter any number from 1-3” on the display screen. ▪ Line 11 displays the procedure that prepares the program to accept input from the user. The int num part of the statement declares the incoming input from the user as an integer (int) with the assigned name “num”. The mitis.nextInt( ) tells the program that the input will be captured using the scanner named mitis and that the input should be treated as an integer. ▪ Lines 12-26 details the procedure of using the switch statement.

The identifier num that was enclosed in parentheses instructs the program that the value that was contained in num will be the value that will be used for the switch statement. The line 13 contains an open bracket ( { ) which indicates the beginning of the switch statement. • Line 14 contains the first condition of the program which checks if the value contained in num is equal to 1. If num is equal to one then the display message on line 15 will be shown on the screen. The line 16 contains the break statement which indicates the end of the first case. Note: If the value of num is not equal to 1, the program will skip reading lines 15 and 16 and automatically jumps to line 17. • Line 17 contains the second condition which checks if the value contained in num is equal to 2. If num is equal to two then the display message on line 18 will be shown on the screen. The line 19 contains the break statement which indicates the end of the second case. Note: If the value of num is not equal to 2, the program will skip reading lines 18 and 19 and automatically jumps to line 20. • Line 20 contains the third condition which checks if the value contained in num is equal to 3. If num is equal to three then the display message on line 21 will be shown on the screen. The line 22 contains the break statement which indicates the end of the third case. Note: If the value of num is not equal to 3, the program will skip reading lines 21 and 22 and automatically jumps to line 23. • Line 23 contains the default condition which accepts the input if it fails to match with any of the conditions written above it. If the program has reached this line of code it will automatically display the message on line 24. The line 22 contains the break statement which indicates the end of the default case. The line 26 contains an close bracket ( } ) which indicates the end of the switch statement.
