Abstract
Chapter 2 delves deep into the world of algorithms and control structures, setting the foundation for effective programming in C++. Beginning with an overview of algorithms and their representation in pseudocode, it progresses to explore various control structures essential to the development of robust software. Core selection statements in C++, including the 'if', 'if...else', and nested 'if...else' are elucidated, with special attention given to common issues like the dangling-else problem. Logical operators—AND, OR, and NOT—are demystified, highlighting key differences between equality and assignment operations. Practical examples elucidate key concepts, followed by an in-depth look at repetition statements such as 'while', 'for', and 'do...while'. This chapter also introduces nested loops and their interactions with 'break' and 'continue' statements. Finally, the art of generating random numbers in C++ is unraveled, offering insights into seeding and calculating numbers within a desired range. The chapter concludes with hands-on exercises to fortify learning.
