Decision Structures and Boolean Logic

These flashcards focus on key concepts and definitions related to decision structures and Boolean logic as covered in the lecture.

A logical design that controls the order in which a set of statements execute based on conditions.

Decision Structure

A control structure that performs specific actions if a condition is met.

If Statement

An operator that determines whether a specific relationship exists between two values.

Relational Operator

An expression that evaluates to true or false, typically used in conditional statements.

Boolean Expression

A dual alternative decision structure that executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if the condition is false.

If-else Statement

A decision structure placed inside another decision structure to handle more complex conditions.

Nested Decision Structure

Operators that combine or modify Boolean expressions; includes and, or, and not.

Logical Operators

A Python operator (:=) that allows for assignment expressions, assigning a value to a variable while evaluating it.

Walrus Operator

A variable that can hold one of two values: True or False.

Boolean Variable

An expression that returns one value if a condition is true and another if it is false, written as 'valueiftrue if condition else valueiffalse.'
