Questions and Answers

What happens when a break statement is reached in a switch case?

  • Control jumps to the next line after the switch statement. (correct)
  • The switch statement continues to the next case.
  • The program terminates entirely.
  • None of the cases are executed.
  • What will be printed if day is set to 5 in the following code? int day = 5; switch(day) { case 1: System.out.println("Monday"); break; case 2: System.out.println("Tuesday"); break; default: System.out.println("Weekend"); }

  • No output
  • Tuesday
  • Monday

    Study Notes

    Conditional Statements

    • Conditional statements enable programs to make decisions based on various conditions.
    • The if statement is a fundamental conditional statement.
    • The if statement executes a block of code if its condition evaluates to true.
    • The if statement ignores the code within its block if its condition evaluates to false.
    • Comparison Operators for Conditions
      • > (greater than)
      • != (not equal to)
      • == (equal to)
      • >= (greater than or equal to)
      • < (less than)
      • <= (less than or equal to)
    • Syntax: if (condition) { // Code to execute }

    if…else Statements

    • The else statement complements the if statement.
    • The else statement executes when the if statement's condition evaluates to false.
    • Syntax: if (condition) { // Code to execute when true } else { // Code to execute when false }

    Nested if Statements

    • One if-else statement can be embedded within another if or else statement.
    • Nested if statements provide greater flexibility in handling multiple conditions.

    else if Statements

    • The else if statement simplifies the process of evaluating multiple conditions.
    • It avoids the need for multiple nested if-else statements.

    Logical Operators

    • && (AND Operator): This operator requires both conditions to be true for the overall expression to be true.
    • || (OR Operator): This operator requires at least one condition to be true for the overall expression to be true.
    • ! (NOT Operator): This operator reverses the truth value of the expression. If the expression is true, the NOT operator makes it false, and vice versa.

    switch Statement

    • Tests a variable against a list of values (cases).
    • Executes code associated with the matching case.
    • The switch statement provides a more structured way to compare a value against multiple possibilities compared to a series of if-else statements.
    • Syntax: switch (expression) { case value1 : // Code }
    • break Statement: Stops execution of the switch statement.
    • default Statement: Executes if no other case matches.

    while Loop

    • Repeatedly executes code as long as a condition remains true.
    • The loop continues to iterate until the specified condition becomes false.
    • Useful for scenarios that require repetition based on a dynamic condition.
    • Syntax: while(condition) { // Code to execute }
