Study Notes
Conditional Statements
- Essential for decision-making in programming.
- Types include simple if, if-else, if-else-if ladder, nested if, and switch statements.
Importance of Conditional Statements
- Minimizes code size, thus saving time and improving readability.
Simple if Statement
- Executes code block if the specified condition is true.
if-else Statement
- Provides two branches: one for when the condition is true and another for false scenarios.
if-else-if Ladder Statement
- A series of if-else statements used to evaluate multiple conditions.
- Forms a decision tree for complex decision-making processes.
Nested-if Statement
- An if statement within another if statement, allowing for more granular control based on multiple conditions.
Switch Statements
- Offers a cleaner syntax for handling multiple conditions compared to a long if-else ladder.
- Uses specific cases to execute corresponding code blocks.
break Keyword in Switch
- Exits the switch block upon reaching a break keyword.
- Prevents the execution of subsequent code and case testing within the block.
Syntax for Switch Cases
- Structure follows the formula:
switch(expression) { case x: // code block break; case y: // code block break; default: // code block }
Loop Statements
- Essential for executing a block of code multiple times, facilitating efficient repetition.
Why We Need Loops?
- Loops automate repetitive tasks, reducing code redundancy and enhancing performance.
Types of Loops in Java
- For loop: ideal for a known number of iterations.
- While loop: executes as long as a specified condition is true.
- Do-while loop: similar to while but executes at least once before checking the condition.
- For-each loop: simplifies iteration over collections or arrays.
'for' Loop in Java
- Standard structure for looping includes initialization, condition checking, and iteration expression.
Simple 'for' Loop Syntax
- Example:
for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement) { // code block }
Jump Statements
- Control the flow of program execution.
- Includes break (to exit loops or switch), continue (to skip current iteration), and return (to exit a method).
