    Planning our Programs Flowcharts Arithmetic Operators

    Planning Programs

    It is very important to plan our programs before we start coding

    There are two ways of planning a program; 1. Pseudo-code = makes use of English statements to plot the program 2. Flowcharts = use graphical symbols

    Example

    Lets say we had the following program

    class VariablesExample { public static void main (String args[]){ //variables are declared and assigned int N1 = 50; int N2 = 13; int tot; //the total of variables N1 and N2 //is stored in tot tot = N1 + N2; //Finally, we can show the result System.out.println(tot); } }

    Pseudo-code Plan

    The following is the Pseudo-code Plan for the previous program;


    1. Start 2. Store 50 in N1. 3. Store 13 in N2. 4. Add N1 to N2 and store result in tot. 5. Display the value in tot. 6. Stop

    Flowchart Plan

    The following is the Flowchart Plan of the previous program;


    Start

    N1 = 50 N2 = 13 tot = N1 + N2

    Display tot
    End

    Why do we Plan Programs?

    We plan our programs in order to know what we will be doing before we start coding

    With a plan it will be much easier to know what structure our program will have
    Planning makes programming much easier

    Flowcharts

    A flowchart is basically a graphical presentation of our program A flowchart is very is to read and understand Flowcharts break down our programs into many steps

    Flowchart Symbols

    Terminator
    The terminator is used to show 1. The start and 2. The end of a program

    START END

    Process

    A process is any action to be done by the program

    The process in this case is declaring two variables

    N1 = 50 N2 = 13

    Decision
    Decision are used when we have a comparison Decisions have two outputs which are YES or NO.

    Is it Raining ?
    YES

    NO

    Input/Output
    The Input/ Output symbol is used 1. When the program requires and input 2. When the program results in an output

    In this case the output to be shown is the contents of tot

    Display tot

    Try it out
    class Variable{ Create public static void main (String args[]){ //variables are declared and assigned 1. The pseudo-codes plan int N1 = 20; 2. The flowchart plan int N2 = 10; int tot; for the following program; int tot2; //tot1 and tot 2 declared tot = N1 + N2; tot2 = N1 N2; //Finally, we can show the result System.out.println(tot2); } }

    Arithmetic Operators

    Arithmetic Operators are used to perform mathematical calculations

    The basic arithmetic operators ; 1. + (addition) These are called 2. - (subtraction) binary operators 3. / (division) because they need 4. * (multiplication) to use at least two 5. % (remainder) variables

    Unary Operators

    Then are also what we call unary operators

    These only need one variable 1. ++ (increment by 1) 2. -- (decrement by 1) 3. variable += x (same as variable = variable + x)

    variable -= x (same as variable = variable - x) 5. variable *= x (same as variable = variable * x) 6. variable /= x (same as variable = variable / x) 7. variable %= x (same as variable = variable %
    4.

    Combining Operators

    We could create a formula by combining a number of operators


    X = 10 + 4 * 3 / 2;

    1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

    The order the operators are work out is the following;


    Multiplication Division Remainder Addition Subtraction
    10 + 4 * 3 / 2 10 + 12 / 2 10 + 6 16

    Use of Brackets

    When we use brackets in our formula we are telling the program which operations to calculate first
    X = (10 + 4) * 3 / 2; (10 + 4 ) * 3 / 2 14 * 3 / 2 42 / 2 21

    As we can see the result has changed!!
