(Updated November 19, 2024) Short-Circuit Evaluation – Advanced Example The Problem As we know, with the conditional operators && (and) and || (or), we can join multiple Boolean expressions together to form a more complex expression. You may also recall that these operators operate in a mode known as short-circuit. This means that once truth … Read More “Short-Circuit Evaluation – Advanced Example” »

(Updated March 24, 2020) Table of contents Overview Decimal Binary Octal Hexadecimal Exercises Overview Numbers systems are simply the means by which we represent values given a particular radix. The radix represents the base counting system. As a defined standard we generally use the Hindu-Arabic numerals of the base 10 counting system, or simply base … Read More “Number Systems” »
(Updated August 26, 2020) Overview As we write programs we gain knowledge. This is especially true in an educational environment. We learn when to select certain constructs in favor of others. We may also learn about scalability, execution time, memory consumption and I/O utilization. If we are truly blessed, our instructor even explains in detail … Read More “Big-O Notation” »
When designing a basic application program, certain details may be elusive. For example, how many variables will be needed, or how many methods will need to be created. There is no simple prescription that can handle all of the possibilities. The only thing that can be done is begin to process the information and formulate … Read More “Approaching a Project” »
