With a foundation in variables and data types, we now turn to how programs perform operations and make decisions. This chapter covers expressions, the way Julia combines values and operators to produce new values, and control flow structures, which dictate the order in which statements are executed.
You will learn to:
$x > y$), and logical operators.if, elseif, and else statements.for and while constructs.break and continue, and write concise conditionals with the ternary operator.Upon completing this chapter, you will be able to construct programs that can evaluate conditions, perform varied calculations, and automate repetitive processes.
