if statement

A decision-making statement that executes a block of code if a condition is true.

if-else statement

An extension of the if statement; it executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if it's false.

switch statement

A control statement that executes different blocks of code depending on the value of a variable.

boolean expression

An expression that evaluates to either true or false.

Study Notes

Control Structures

  • Programs use control structures to determine the order instructions are executed.
  • Control statements (selection, repetition, branching) manage program flow.
  • Java supports selection, repetition, and branching.

Selection (Agarwal & Bansal, 2023)

  • Selection statements control program flow based on comparison results.
  • if statement: Evaluates a boolean expression; executes a block of statements if true.
    • Syntax: if (boolean-expression) { statements; }
    • Example: int a=16; if (a%2==0) { System.out.println("Even"); }
  • if-else statement: Executes one block if the condition is true and another if false.
    • Syntax: if (boolean-expression) { statements; } else { statements; }
    • Example: if (aNum1 > aNum2) { aMax = aNum1; } else { aMax = aNum2; }
  • switch statement: Selects code based on a variable's value.
    • Syntax: switch (variable-name) { case exprsn1: statements; break; case exprsn2 : statement; break; default: statement; }
    • It works with byte, short, char, or int types only.
    • break exits the switch.
    • default handles unmatched cases.

Repetition (Agarwal & Bansal, 2023)

  • Repetition statements loop based on conditions.

  • while loop: Executes as long as condition is true.

    • Syntax: while (boolean-expression) { statement; }
  • do-while loop: Executes at least once, then repeats while condition is true.

    • Syntax: do { statement;} while(expression);
  • for loop: Executes a set number of times (has initializer, condition, increment).

    • Syntax: for (initialization; test; increment) { statement; }

Branching (Agarwal & Bansal, 2023)

  • Branching statements alter program execution flow.
  • break: Exits a loop or switch statement.
    • break;, break label; or break switch
  • continue: Skips the current iteration of a loop.
  • return: Exits a method and returns a value (or nothing if void).
    • return values;, or return; or return expression;
