What is the purpose of a break statement in a switch statement?
What is the purpose of a break statement in a switch statement?
The break statement is used to terminate a specific case in a switch statement and prevent fall-through to subsequent cases.
How does a do loop differ from a while loop in terms of execution?
How does a do loop differ from a while loop in terms of execution?
A do loop executes its body at least once before evaluating its boolean condition, while a while loop may not execute if the condition is false initially.
Explain the role of a conditional operator in Java.
Explain the role of a conditional operator in Java.
A conditional operator evaluates a boolean condition and returns one of two results based on whether the condition is true or false.

Study Notes
Block Statement
- Collection of statements enclosed by curly braces
- Can be used where the Java syntax requires a single statement.
Boolean Expression
- Evaluates to either
trueorfalse. - Used in conditional statements and logical operators for decision-making.
Break Statement
- Terminates a specific case within a
switchstatement. - Skips the remaining code within the
switchblock.
Conditional Operator
- Ternary operator
? : - Returns a value based on a boolean condition.
Conditional Statement
- Determines which statement to execute next based on a boolean condition.
- Examples:
if,else if,switchstatements.
Do Statement
- A loop that executes its body at least once before evaluating the boolean condition.
- Used when you need to perform an action at least once regardless of the condition.
Equality Operator
- Compares whether two elements are equal or not equal.
- Examples:
==(equals),!=(not equals).
Flow of Control
- Order in which statements are executed in a running program.
- Determined by control flow statements like conditional and repetition statements.
For Statement
- A loop that includes initialization, condition, and increment within its header.
- Best suited for loops with a predefined number of iterations.
If Statement
- A conditional statement that makes a decision based on a boolean condition.
- Used to execute different code blocks based on whether a condition is true or false.
Infinite Loop
- A loop that continues indefinitely without a termination condition.
- Can occur due to incorrect logic or missing exit condition.
Iterator
- An object that allows you to process the elements of a collection one at a time.
- Provides
nextandhasNextmethods to navigate through elements.
Logical AND Operation
- Returns
trueif both operands aretrue, andfalseotherwise. - Represented by the operator
&&.
Logical NOT Operation
- Returns the opposite boolean value of its operand.
- Represented by the operator
!.
Logical Operator
- Operates on boolean values to produce a boolean result.
- Examples:
&&(AND),||(OR),!(NOT).
Logical OR Operation
- Returns
trueif at least one operand istrue, andfalseotherwise. - Represented by the operator
||.
Loop
- A repetition statement that executes a block of code repeatedly.
- Examples:
for,while,do-while.
Nested If Statement
- One
ifstatement enclosed and controlled by another. - Allows for more complex conditional branching.
Nested Loop
- A loop completely enclosed within another loop.
- Used to iterate over multiple dimensions or collections.
Relational Operator
- Determines the relative ordering of two values.
- Examples:
<(less than),>(greater than),<=(less than or equal to),>=(greater than or equal to).
Repetition Statement
- A statement that allows a block of code to be executed multiple times.
- Also known as a loop.
Running Sum
- A variable that keeps track of the sum of all values processed so far.
- Used to calculate total values within a loop.
Switch Statement
- A conditional statement that maps an expression to one of several cases to determine which statement to execute next.
- Provides a structured way to handle multiple conditions.
