24. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures24 Repetition Problem l A class of problems that can be solved by repeatedly performing some task until some condition is no longer valid. l Example 1: Monopoly, “Go to Jail” until you roll doubles, 3 rolls, or pay $50. l Example 2: N ! = 1 * 2 * 3 *... (N-1) * N l Iterations could be written as sequence of steps - # of iterations may vary.

25. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures25 Conditional Branch l Predates looping constructs label: statement1; statement2;... statementN; if ( boolean expression is true) goto label; l Exercise: Write N! using conditional branch logic

26. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures26 Loop Terminology l initialization - assign values before evaluation l evaluate - determine if loop should continue l increment - modify or increase loop controls l iteration - one pass over loop (evaluate, body, increment) l loop body - syntax that is executed with each iteration of loop

39. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures39 Procedure Execution l a procedure is called or invoked by name l flow of control jumps to first line in procedure l on completing procedure, flow of control returns to first line after procedure call l walk through exercise 11 pg. 335

40. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures40 Parameters l PROCEDURE ( ); l parameter list format: similar to VAR format l Discuss parameter notes slide

41. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures41 Parameter Types l formal - variables in procedure heading (parameters) l actual - values in procedure call (arguments) l call by value (value parameters) arguments are copies to parameters l call by reference (variable parameters) parameters refer to arguments

42. CS241 PASCAL I - Control Structures42 Side Effects l Unintended change in a variable l Typically associated with call by reference parameter passing l Considered “bad” programming. Why? l Sometimes desirable. When/Example?
