    Java Programming: Loops, Classes, and Boolean Variables

    Introduction to Java

    Java is a versatile, high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995. It is widely used for various purposes, including web development, mobile app development, and enterprise software. One of its defining features is the ability to write once, run anywhere (WORA), which means that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support the Java runtime environment (JRE).

    Loops in Java

    Loops are a fundamental concept in programming, allowing programmers to execute a block of code repeatedly until a certain condition is met. In Java, there are three types of loops: for, while, and do-while. The for loop is typically used when you know how many times you want the code inside the loop to execute. It has the following general format:

    for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) {
    // Code to be executed
}

    The while loop is used when you do not know in advance how many times the code needs to be executed. It continues executing as long as the expression in parentheses evaluates to true. Here's an example:

    int counter = 0;
while (counter < 10) {
    // Code to be executed
    counter++;
}

    Finally, the do-while loop ensures that the code inside the loop is executed at least once. Here's an example:

    int counter = 0;
do {
    // Code to be executed
    counter++;
} while (counter < 10);

    You can choose the appropriate loop type based on your needs and the specific requirements of your program.

    Classes in Java

    Classes are a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming, representing real-world entities or abstract concepts. They encapsulate data and behavior, providing a blueprint for creating objects. In Java, you can define a class using the following format:

    public class MyClass {
    // Class declaration goes here
}

    To create an instance of a class, simply call the class constructor and assign the returned object to a variable of the same type:

    MyClass myObj = new MyClass();

    Classes can also be used as templates for creating multiple objects with the same behavior and properties. For example, you can define a class for a person and then create instances for different people.

    Booleans in Java

    Booleans are another essential aspect of programming in Java, allowing developers to represent binary states (true or false) and logical operations. The boolean data type is used in Java to store booleans. You can assign booleans to variables and use them in conditional statements, loops, and other control structures.

    For example, consider the following Java code snippet:

    boolean isEven = true;
if (isEven) {
    System.out.println("Number is even.");
} else {
    System.out.println("Number is odd.");
}

    This code defines a boolean variable isEven initialized with the value true. Then, it uses an if statement to compare the value of isEven with the boolean literal true, printing "Number is even." if the condition evaluates to true.
