[ADD PRESENTATION TITLE IN SLIDE MASTER MODE] | 1

Learning Outcomes:

After studying this topic you should be able to:

Arrays are objects that help us organize large amounts of information
Topic 2 focuses on:
‒ Use the increment and decrement operators.
‒ Use standard math methods.
‒ Use if and if-else statements to make choices.
‒ Use while and for loops to repeat a process.
‒ Construct appropriate conditions for control statements using relational operators.
‒ Detect and correct common loop errors.
