• Represent branching logical processes by using conditional statements.

• Represent branching logical processes by using nested conditional statements.

• Evaluate compound Boolean expressions in program code.

• Compare and contrast equivalent Boolean expressions.

• Compare object references using Boolean expressions in program code.

2.2

• Represent iterative processes using a while loop.

• For algorithms in the context of a particular specification that does not require the use of traversals:

  • • Identify standards algorithms.

    • Modify standard algorithms.

    • Develop an algorithm.

• Represent iterative processes using a for loop.

• For algorithms in the context of a particular specification that involves String objects:

  • • Identify standard algorithms.

    • Modify standard algorithms.

    • Develop an algorithm.

• Represent nested iterative processes.

• Compute statement execution counts and informal run-time comparison of iterative statements.

• Determine the result of executing recursive methods.
