Java if Statement

 The Java if statement tests the condition. Syntax:

 It executes the if block if condition is true. if(condition)
 Example: {
public class if_demo //code to be executed
{ }
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int age=20;
if (age > 18)
{
System.out.println("age is greater than 18");
}
}
}

}
}

Java if-else Statement

 Java if-else statement also tests the condition.

 It executes the if block if condition is true otherwise else block is executed.
 Example: Syntax:
class demo_if_else_ex if(condition)
{
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{ //code if condition is true
int number = -10; }
if (number > 0) else
{ {
System.out.println("The number is positive."); //code if condition is false
} }
else
{
System.out.println("The number is not positive.");
}
}
}
}
}

 Java if-else –if Statement

 The if-else-if ladder statement executes one condition from Syntax:

multiple statements. if(condition1)
{
 Example: //code to be executed if condition1 is true
class if_else_if_demo } else if(condition2)
{ {
public static void main(String[] args) //code to be executed if condition2 is true
{
int number = 0; }
if (number > 0) else if(condition3)
{ {
//code to be executed if condition3 is true
System.out.println("The number is positive.");
} }
else if (number < 0) ...
{ else
System.out.println("The number is negative."); {
//code to be executed if all the conditions
} are false
else }
{
System.out.println("The number is 0.");
}
}
}}

 Java nested if Statement

 The nested if statement represents the if block within another if block.

 Here, the inner if block condition executes only when outer if block condition is true.
}
Syntax:
if(condition){
//code to be executed
if(condition){
//code to be executed
}
}

Java nested if Statement-Example

class nested_if else

{ {
public static void main(String[] args) if (n2 >= n3)
{ {
Double n1 = -1.0, n2 = 4.5, n3 = -5.3, largest; largest = n2;
if (n1 >= n2) }
{ else {
if (n1 >= n3) largest = n3;
{ }
largest = n1; }
} System.out.println("Largest Number: " + largest);
else }
{ }
largest = n3;
}
}

 Java switch Statement

 The Java switch statement executes one statement from multiple conditions.
 It is like if-else-if ladder statement.
 The switch statement works with byte, short, int, long, enum types, String and some wrapper types like Byte,
Short, Int, and Long.
 In other words, the switch statement tests the equality of a variable against multiple values.
Syntax:
switch(expression)
{
case value1:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
case value2:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
......
default:
code to be executed if all cases are not matched;
}

Java switch Statement-Example

public class Switch_demo case 4:

{ System.out.println("Thursday");
public static void main(String[] args) break;
{ case 5:
int day = 6; System.out.println("Friday");
switch (day) { break;
case 1: case 6:
System.out.println("Monday"); System.out.println("Saturday");
break; break;
case 2: case 7:
System.out.println("Tuesday"); System.out.println("Sunday");
break; break;
case 3: }
System.out.println("Wednesday"); }
break; }

 break

The break statement in java is used to terminate from the loop immediately.
When a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop iteration stops there, and control returns from
the loop immediately to the first statement after the loop.
Example:
public class BreakDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{ if(i==8)
{
break;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

 continue

The continue statement in Java is used to skip the current iteration of a loop.
We can use continue statement inside any types of loops such as for, while, and do-while loop.
Example:
public class ContinueDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
if(i==5)
{
continue;
}
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
