6: Conditionals Part 1 — Read

From LibreTexts, under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, as the source states it; its equations are written in TeX, which the PDF shows typeset. This page at LibreTexts.

In this chapter, we’ll use functions and a new feature—conditional statements—to search for Pythagorean triples. A Pythagorean triple is a set of integers, like 3, 4, and 5, that are the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. Mathematically, it’s a set of integers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) such that \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\). This example will also demonstrate the incremental development process we talked about in Chapter 3.

6.1: Relational Operators
- 6.1.1: Relational Operators List
- 6.1.2: Octave vs. MATLAB--not equal, end, endif, endfunction
6.2: if Statement
Use of the basic "it" logic block
6.3: if, else, elseif
if, else, elseif, end examples
6.4: Incremental Development
Outlines the steps for creating and testing a program.
6.5: Logical Functions
Logical functions and operations. This is a modified version Of Allen Downey's section. It has been modified to use parentheses to remove ambiguity in the logic.
6.6: Nested for Loops
nested loops
6.7: Putting It Together
Now instead of displaying all of the triples, we’ll add an if statement and display only Pythagorean triples
6.8: Encapsulation and Generalization
encapsulation: wrapping the code in a function
6.9: Adding a continue Statement
continue short circuits a for loop
