    Study Notes

    Java Conditional Statements

    • Conditional statements allow a program to take action based on a given condition.
    • They typically compare two values to decide what action to take.

    If Statement

    • Handles one conditional expression.
    • Executes a code block if the condition is true, otherwise does nothing.

    If-Else Statement

    • Handles two conditional expressions.
    • Executes the first code block if the condition is true, otherwise executes the second code block.

    Switch Statement

    • Similar to a conditional statement, but only checks for specific values.
    • Used to handle multiple values using the case keyword.
    • Typically used with a default keyword to handle values not on a case.

    Loops

    • While Loop: Used to execute a code block repeatedly while a condition is met.
    • Do-While Loop: Similar to a while loop, but executes the code block first before checking the condition.
    • For Loop: Used to execute a code block repeatedly while a condition is met, with a more compact format than a while loop.
    • For-Each Loop: Used to iterate through collections like arrays easily without knowing the size of the collection.

    Arrays

    • A collection of multiple values in a single variable with the same data type.
    • Governed by using an index.
    • Elements are individual values in an array.
    • Declaring arrays: datatype identifier[] = {val1,val2,val3}; or datatype identifier[] = new datatype[size];.
    • Accessing arrays: identifier[index].
    • Assigning array elements: identifier[index] = value.

    Data Types

    • String: Holds a set of characters or text.
    • Boolean: Holds true or false values.
    • Integers: byte, short, int, long.
    • Floating Point: float, double.

    Methods and Functions

    • A block of code that can be called multiple times.
    • Used to perform specific tasks.

    Identifiers and Variables

    • Identifiers are names of variables indicated by the programmer.
    • Rules of identifiers: cannot use special characters, whitespaces, or numbers alone.
    • Declaring variables: datatype identifier.

    Input and Output

    • User Input: Using a Scanner object to read user input.
    • Output: Using System.out.println() to print output.
