User: 143 Basic operations in programming languagesINTRODUCTION There are a number of basic operations that you can perform on text and numeric data when programming. These fall into four main categories: arithmetic operations, relational operations, Boolean operations and string handling. In this chapter all of these basic operations are explained with simple examples to illustrate each. The examples are based on Visual Basic and there is also a look-up table at the end the chapter to show these how these basic operations could be implemented in Python and C#.LEARNING OBJECTIVES In this chapter you will learn: •the correct syntax for writing basic programming code•how to construct arithmetic operations, Boolean operations andrela tional operations•how to handle basic string operations •how Visual Basic, Python and C# implement these operations.
 When programming, the syntax for each operation will vary depending on which language you are using. In practice, when creating full programs you will be using many of these operations in combination to perform particular tasks. In Sections Two and Three, you will see many of these basic operations being used in context. When programming, values are likely to come from a variable  or constant, or be gener ated as part of the program. For example, an assignment statement that adds two numbers together may use three variables called Answer, FirstNumber and SecondNumber: Answer = FirstNumber + SecondNumber5 = 3 + 2SPECIFICATION COVERAGE 3.1.1.3 Arithmetic operations in a programming language3.1.1.4 Relational operations in a programming language3.1.1.5 Boolean operations in a programming language3.1.1.7 String-handling operations in a programming language3.1.1.8 Random number generation in a programming languageKEYWORD Variable: a data item whose value will  change during the execution of the program.ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS 15Note that in some languages these operations can be carried out on numeric values or text strings. For example: txtAnswer = txtFirstVariable + txtSecondVariableDavidSmith = David + SmithThis has implications for the programmer as you might expect a simple addition of 2 + 2 to equal 4. However, 2 + 2 could also result in the answer 22 if the programmer has not defined the values as integers. This is one reason why it is good practice to declare variables at the beginning of every program, so that the program knows how to handle the data. ●Arithmetic operationsMost of these are the standard mathematical operations that you use everyday such as add, subtract, multiply and divide. ●Addition: The sum of two or more values. Example: 5 = 3 + 2 orAns wer = FirstNumber + SecondNumber .
 ●Subtraction: One value minus another. Example: 2 = 5 – 3 orAns wer = FirstNumber - SecondNumber .
 ●Multiplication: The product of two values. Example: 6 = 3 * 2 orAnswer = FirstNumber * SecondNumber . ●Division of real numbers: A real number is one with a fractional part so may result in an answer with a fractional part. Example: 3.1 = 6.2/2 or Answer = FirstNumber / SecondNumber  (where all variableshave been declared as Real or Float). ●Division of integers: An integer is a whole number and therefore maygener ate a number with a remainder. Example: 3r1 = 7/2 or Answer= FirstNumber / SecondNumber  (where all variables have been declared as Integer). The DIV operation can also be used in the formatAnswer = FirstNumber DIV SecondNumber  in which case thequotient and remainder are calculated simultaneously. ●Modulo operation: The modulo or MOD operator is used to divide onenumber by another to find the remainder. Example: 1 = 7 MOD 2 or Answer = FirstNumber MOD SecondNumber as 7/2 = 3r1. ●Exponentiation: Repeated multiplication of a base number in the formBn where B is the base number and n is the number of times to repeat the multiplication. For example 2 4 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 2. Example: 16 = 2 ^ 4or Answer = FirstNumber ^ SecondNumber .
 ●Rounding: Replacing the real value with a simpler representation thatis clos e to the original value. For example, 2.315432 becomes 2.3.
 There are various methods for rounding  within each programming language such as rounding up and down, or rounding to a specific number of decimal places. Example: 2 = Round(2.3) or Answer =Round(FirstNumber) . ●Truncating: Shortening a value by cutting it off after a certain numberof di gits. It is the equivalent of rounding down. There are variousmethods for truncating  within each programming language. Example: 2 = Trun cate (2.345) or Answer = Truncate(FirstNumber) where FirstNumber is a decimal value.
 ●Random number generation: Creating a number to be used in a programthat is random. There are several methods of doing this. Often the number is set to be generated between two fixed values. There areKEYWORD Arithmetic operation: common expr essions such as +, –, /, ×.
 KEYWORDSRounding: reducing the number of digitsused to represent a number while maintaining a value that is approximately equivalent. Truncating: the process of cutt ing off a number after a certain number of characters or decimal places.163 Basic operations in programming languagesvarious methods within each programming language. For example: 0.123 = Rnd ()  or Answer = Rnd() . Random numbers are a very useful tool for programmers. Typical applications include: – Creating a range of test data to be used on a new program– Producing data to use in computer simulations– Creating random events and movements in computer games– Selecting a random sample from a dataset. However, as most random number generation  techniques usedin prog ramming languages start from a seed value and then use analgorithm to create the random number, it means that the numbercannot be truly random as the algorithm used will produce an elementof structure to the results. Consequently, random numbers generatedby programming languages are often referred to as pseudo-random numbers . This is perfectly adequate for the purposes listed above but in other circumstances, such as encryption, this level of randomness would not be sufﬁcient.
 ●Relational operations work by making comparisons between two dataitems. Th ey consist of operands and operators where the operands are thevalues and the operator is the comparison being made. For example, inthe operation A > B, A and B are the operands and > is the operator. Mostprogramming languages recognise the standard method for representingthese operators as shown in Table 3.1.KEYWORDS Random number generation: a function  that produces a completely random number. Pseudo-random  number generator: common  in progr amming languages, a function that produces a random number that is not 100% random.
 KEYWORDRelational operations: expressions that compare two values such as equal to or greater than.
 Relational operations are often performed in order to create selection statements. For example: If A > 1 Then...  means if A is 2 or more then the next action is carried out. In common with all operations, the comparisons could also be made between textual data as well as numerical data.
 ●Boolean operations  are those which result in either a TRUE or a FALSE answer. Boolean algebra is used in logic circuits and is an underlying principle to how modern computers work. It is also fundamental to theprocess of searching data whether that is in a database, or on the web. Oncethe Boolean operation has been evaluated, a further action is then taken. Forexample, on a database search, a subset of data would be created containingrecords that met the search criteria. The examples below are based on ascenario where an online dataset is being searched to find a new car.KEYWORDBoolean operations: expressions that result in a TRUE or FALSE value.Relational operator SignEqual to = or == Not equal to < >or != Less than <Greater than > Less than or equal to Greater than or equal to Table 3.1 Table of relational operatorsSTRING-HANDLING FUNCTIONS 17The four basic operations are: ●AND: This is known as a conjunction as it adds together the data. Forexam ple, using the search phrase “Four Door AND Less than 3 years old” would return a value of TRUE only if both conditions were met, so thecar would need to have four doors AND be less than 3 years old. ●OR: This is known as a disjunction, which means that a TRUE result isprodu ced if any of the conditions are met. For example, in the search phrase “Four Door OR Three Door”, only one of the conditions needs to bemet to get a TRUE result, so all three- and four-door cars would be listed.
 ●NOT: This is known as a negation as it reverses the input. For example,“NOT Ford” would result in data that did NOT contain the word Ford. ●XOR: This is known as an exclusive OR and means that a TRUE resultis prod uced when one or the other condition is met but not both. For example, “Sunroof XOR Air conditioning” would result in data wherethe car either had a sunroof or air conditioning, but not both. XORoperations are used extensively when creating logic gates and there ismore on this in Chapter 30.
 You may have noticed that it is possible to embed relational operators within Boolean operations. For example, “Four Door AND Less than 3 years old” uses the less than  operator. It is also possible to join lots of Boolean operations together to produce the desired outcome. For example, a very specific search might be: “Four Door AND Less than 3 years old AND Ford OR Vauxhall NOT Fiat”. ●String-handling functionsAt the beginning of the chapter we saw that it is possible to carry outoperations on numbers and text data. This section looks specifically at theway in which text can be handled. To be more precise, this section looksat how strings can be handled. A string is a sequence of characters and canactually be made up of text, numbers and symbols. There are many situationswhere you will need to work with strings to produce the desired outcome, forexample, searching for strings of characters or combining strings together. KEYWORD String-handling functions: actions that can be carried out on sequences of characters.Figure 3.1 Venn diagrams to represent the four basic Boolean operations.B A ANDB AORB A XORB A NOTKEYWORDSAND: Boolean operation that outputs true if both inputs are  true.
 OR: Boolean operation that outputs true if either of its inputs are true.NOT: Boolean operation that inverts the result so true  becomes false and false becomes true. XOR: Boolean operation that is true if ei ther input is true but not if both inputs are true.183 Basic operations in programming languages●Length: The length of the string is how many characters are used to storea parti cular item of data. The string length is often variable although there is usually an upper limit placed on its size. There are variousoperations that you can carry out using the string length. For example,you may want to set the maximum length or calculate the length of aparticular string of data. For example: Dim LastName As String  is used to define a string data type and Len (Variable1)  calculates thelength of data value stored in Variable1 . ●Position: Within a text string it is possible to identify the position ofevery cha racter. This is useful when you want to extract particularcharacters from the string or identify substrings within the data. Thereare various operations that you can carry out. For example, to find thestart position of a particular string of characters within another string: Txt = "JohnSmith22HighStreetLeicester"AddressPosition = InStr(txt,"22HighStreet")This would return a value of 10 in this example as that is the positionwhere the address data starts within the string being searched. Thisassumes that the start position is 1. Some languages take the startposition as 0, in which case this would return a value of 9. ●Substring: A substring is a string contained within another string as shownin the e xample above. Various techniques can be used to extract data fromanywhere in a string to create a substring providing the start and endposition are known or the start position and length are known. For example: txt= "JohnSmith22HighStreetLeicester"txtAddress = str.Substring (10,21)This would create the substring “22HighStreetLeicester” and store it in avariable called txtAddress . It does this by starting at position 10 of the string and then extracting the next 21 characters.
 ●Concatenation: This is the process of adding strings together to createanother st ring. For example: txtFirstName = "John"txtLastName = "Smith"txtFullName = txtFirstName + txtLastName This would create the value “JohnSmith” stored in a variable calledtxtFullName . ●Character codes: Every character that you can use on a computer includingall the keyboard characters has a corresponding character code , which is used to id entify it. This might be an ASCII code or Unicode (see Chapter 26).
 This can be used in various ways, for example, if you need to convert a textvalue to a numeric value in order to carry out a calculation on it. You mightdo this when encrypting data. For example: asc(Variable1)  returns the ASCII code value of the value stored inVariable1  where Variable1  is a text character.  chr(Variable1)  returns the text character where Variable1  is anASCII code.  chrW(Variable1)  returns the Unicode code value of Variable1where Variable1  is a text character.In addition to converting strings to character codes, there are a number of other conversions that a programmer might need to do in order to manipulate the data further. Most programming languages include specific functions to carry out these conversions.KEYWORD Character code: a binary repre sentation of a particular letter, number or special character.EXAMPLES OF COMMON OPERATIONS  IN PYTHON AND C#19●String to Integer / Integer to String: An integer is a whole number. Somepro gramming languages convert between the two automatically if the two variables are declared correctly. For example: Dim i as IntegerDim s as Stringi = 1s = i This would result in s (a string) becoming 1 (an integer). The same code could be used to reverse the process.
 ●String to Float / Float to String: A float is also called a real number andis any number including those with a fractional part. In Visual Basic, a function exists to carry out this conversion: Convert.ToDouble(x) will convert the text string x into a Doubledata type, used by Visual Basic to store real numbers.  Convert.ToString(n)  will convert the real number n into a string.
 ●String to Date-time / Date-Time to String: Date-time is usually storedwith built-in formatting such as dd.mm.yyyy and hh: mm: ss. To manipulate individual parts of the data, it can be converted into a string. Most programming languages have built-in functions. For example, inVisual Basic: DateTime.ToString(date)  converts the date and time into a stringString.ToDateTime(String)  converts a string into date-time format. ●Examples of common operationsin Python and C# Table 3.2 gives some examples of how these common operations can bexecuted in both Python and C#. Note that there will be other ways ofimplementing these operations based on the specific requirements of theprogram being written. You will notice that there are some commonalities between programminglanguages and some operations that are handled completely differently.203 Basic operations in programming languagesTable 3.2 Common operations in Python and C# Operation or functionPython example C# example Add c = a + b c = a + bSubtract c = a – b c = a – b Multiply c = a * b c = a * b Divide real number c = a / b c = a / bDivide integer c = a//b Int c = a / b Modulo c = a % b c = a % bExponentiation c = a ** b or exp(n) math.Pow (a,b) Round round (x[,n]) math.Round()Truncate round (x[, n])Truncates according to the size inputmath.Truncate (a, n)Truncates the value of a to n placesRandom number generationrandom() random() Substring var1 = "JohnSmith"print var1[0: 4] Prints “ John”string input = "JohnSmith"string sub = input.Substring (0, 4)Returns the value “John”Concatenation c = a + b c = a + b Convert character to character codeChr()  gives the character code value of the characterOrd()  gives the integer value of the characterEncoding,ASCII,GetBytes ()  converts a character to an ASCII codeconvert.ToChar()  converts an ASCII code to a characterConvert string to integer int()  converts a string to an integer str() converts an integer to a string.ToInt32  converts a string to a 32-bit integer.ToString  converts an integer to a string where the variable before the dot is an integerConvert string to date-time time.strftime(format[,t])  converts a string into a time with a specified formatConvertToDateTime(dateString)  converts date-time to stringDateTime.Parse()  converts the string contained in the brackets into a date-time formatConvert string to float float()  converts string to float str()  converts float to string.ToFloat converts a string to a float where the value before the dot is a string.ToString  converts a float to a string where the variable before the dot is an integerPractice questions can be found at the end of the section on pages 46 and 47.

You MUST make sure they are ALL met. Everything it says on there you should meet.
SOMETIMES the specification does not always mention everything. If you encounter something from the body of text that is not necessarily mentioned on the specification point, still try to include it but condense it. Do not make the notes unecessary or useless.

I already provided the available exam questions you MAY choose to add on to the notes, with 'des' explaining what it's about, and 'fil' meaning the Question ID.
The content, too. Delivered in the form 'fil', JSON
Ignore exam questions that contain 'Skeleton Program'. Do not only put like 2 exam questions, try to put more!
For the exam questions, in the original text, there is a label named 'Tasks'. Those (usually) six questions are NOT the exa questions. The exam questions are the ones that were given in JSON form to you, do NOT do the 'Tasks'. Do the exam questions that contain HTML in JSON!

In the markscheme, a ';' typically means that a mark was gained.
When mentioning exam questions, you *must* answer them, according to the markscheme, scoring full marks. No 'do it yourself'.

Include ALL definitions (KEYWORDS) from the original text I sent in your notes. When I mean all, I mean ALL.

If necessary for scoring marks, try to embed the exam-questions into your notes, sometimes without even referencing the fact that it is an exam question. For example, if an exam question is a definition or benefits, use the answer in your notes.
Remember. DO NOT ADD USELESS STUFF. Your task is to create the MOST EFFICIENT (SHORTEST [for an explanation] BUT STILL SCORES ALL MARKS) possible notes resource, which will score all marks easily, so its wording has to be mostly like that of the exam questions. By any means, if necessary, please include examples and exam questions! At the end you can have a 'try these exam questions' thing.
At the end of your answer, you will give a 'breakdown'/'summary' of each thing you covered which will tell the most concise FULLY MARK-SCORING explanation possible.

In summary, your answer must:

* Be efficient, useful
* For topics in an exam that may require some form of mathematical working, always show an example of a question.
* Be clear – provide clear, step-by-step examples/instructions when needed.
* Follow the entire specification and everything it says.
* Link your section to a spec point. E.g. **Topic** (Spec Points: a.b.c Whatever)
* Score ALL marks.
* Include ALL exam questions S at the end (except ones that contain 'Skeleton Program'), with the same wording as the original ones in the JSONs sent to you – and INCLUDE THE QUESTION CONTENT, AND THE ANSWERS/MARK SCHEME. Only the ones that I provided to you, include Question IDs.
* Remove redundant, unnecessary and useless information that would not be brought up in an exam answer.
* Be helpful to the reader
* Provide the full notes, covering ALL spec-points (and showing the spec-points covered in each section).
* Include ALL definitions (KEYWORDS, usually represented explicitly and specifically in the original text as Keyword: Definition), do not change the wording (unless that definition is an exam question). MAKE ALL THE DEFINITIONS FULL (yet consice, as they can sometimes even be 2 marks). Incorporate the definitons into the notes.
* Include a seperate section named 'Definitions' that covers the keywords and their simplest definition that scores all marks. These are (usually) found in the original text.
* Include a summary at the end (after definitions) that goes through everything you need to score all marks.

At the end of the formatted text, after everything is done, fill out the JSON:
Remove the type clarification.

User: Now, the user will ask questions after this message. Use everything I gave you and the knowledge you have acquired, and from the notes you made, to answer their question in a very concise way that WILL score ALL marks. Just like the notes. For this, your answer will not have the same structure as the revision notes. Think of it as answering an exam question: short, consice, useful, scores ALL marks. Just like the exam questions provided to you, you will not leave your response in a 'notes' manner. You are just answering an exam question: which means it has to be very short unless explicitly specified by the user that it must be long and detailed. So, keep it short, concise, and only a couple of sentences that score ALL marks. Remember, it is an A-Level exam question and you will style it as such: incredibly concise sentences (essentially like bullet points but without the bullet points) that score marks. Most sentences won't even have commas, this does not mean you can't use them. Also do not repeat the question in your answer, just do it. Score all marks, assume how many marks there are based on the question if it is not provided to you. Imagine that for every sentence you make, you score a mark (for simpler questions), for high (>5 mark) questions that may differ.
In summary, you must:
* Answer very concisely. Kind of like bullet points but as a short para. Most of the time, a sentence, or point, will be a mark.
* Do not repeat the question at the start.
* Don't over-do your answer. Please. 1 mark (e.g., usually, 'What' questions) is like one very short sentence usually. Remember the summary from the notes? Your answer will essentially be like that for most questions but a bit (a bit!) more developed. Remember, this is just A-Levels. Use some of the exam questions that I provided as an example of how you should model your answers.
* When you're listing examples, don't list every example in the universe.
* Score all marks. Be helpful.
