Java Intro: Basics and Principles

Lazy evaluation means that the second sub-condition is not evaluated if the first sub-condition evaluates to false for and (&&) conditions, and not evaluated if the first sub-condition evaluates to true for or (||) conditions.

The three expressions in a for loop statement are: initialization (initializes the controlling variable), condition (defines a condition checked before each iteration), and update (indicates how the control variable is updated after each iteration).

The Scanner class is used to read input from the user, allowing the program to interact with the user and obtain input values.

<p>The <code>int total = 0;</code> statement initializes a variable to store the sum of numbers, and it is used in the <code>for</code> loop to accumulate the sum of numbers from 1 to <code>n</code>.</p> Signup and view all the answers
