Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of conditional statements in a program?

  • To perform arithmetic operations
  • To iterate over a collection of data
  • To take action based on a given condition (correct)
  • To handle errors and exceptions

    • What is the function of the Equals method in Java?

  • To compare memory addresses of two variables
  • To handle null pointer exceptions
  • To compare the contents of two strings (correct)
  • To perform arithmetic operations on two variables

    • What is the difference between an IF statement and an IF-ELSE statement?

  • An IF statement handles multiple conditional expressions, while an IF-ELSE statement handles one
  • An IF statement has no else clause, while an IF-ELSE statement has an else clause (correct)
  • An IF statement has two conditional expressions, while an IF-ELSE statement has one
  • An IF statement is used for arithmetic operations, while an IF-ELSE statement is used for string comparisons

    Study Notes

    Conditional Statements

    • Allow a program to take action based on a given condition
    • Typically compare two values to decide what action to take

    Relational Operators

    • Label: Equals • Symbol: == • Syntax: x == y
    • Label: NOT Equals • Symbol: != • Syntax: x != y
    • Label: Less Than • Symbol: < • Syntax: x < y
    • (and more relational operators...)

    IF Statements

    • Handle one conditional expression
    • Syntax: if (condition) { //do something here }
    • The program does something if the condition is true; otherwise, it does nothing

    IF-ELSE Statements

    • Handle two conditional expressions
    • Syntax: if (condition) { //do something here } else { //do something here }
    • The program does the first code block if the condition is true; otherwise, it does the second code block

    IF-ELSE IF-ELSE Statements

    • A conditional statement within a conditional statement
    • Nested conditional statements can be any type of conditional statement

    Nested Conditional Statements

    • Syntax: if (condition) { if (condition) { //do something here } }
    • Can be any type of conditional statement

    EQUALS Function

    • Used to compare strings more efficiently
    • Necessary because equal relational operators compare memory addresses, not content

    Logical Operators

    • Label: AND • Symbol: && • Syntax: condition && condition • Description: Both conditions need to be true
    • Label: OR • Symbol: || • Syntax: condition || condition • Description: Either condition needs to be true
    • Label: NOT • Symbol: ! • Syntax: !condition • Description: Negates the condition
