Chapter 3 - Decisions. one of the essential features of computer programs is their ability to make decisions. like a train that changes tracks depending on how the switches are set, a program can take different actions, depending on inputs and other circumstances. In this chapter, you will learn how to program simple and complex decisions. You will apply what you learn to the task of checking user input. | C++ for Everyone by Cay Horstmann Copyright © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons.
