Conditional Statements in Java
Conditional Statements:
If-else
Statement
The
Java if statement is used to test the condition. It checks
boolean condition: true or false. There are
various types of if statement in java.
- if
statement
- if-else
statement
- nested
if statement
- if-else-if
ladder
Java IF Statement
The
Java if statement tests the condition. It executes the if block if
condition is true.
Syntax:
1. if(condition){
2. //code to be executed
3.
}
4.
Example :
1. public class IfExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int age=20;
4. if(age>18){
5. System.out.print("Age is greater than 18");
6. }
7. }
8. }
IF-else Statement
The
Java if-else statement also tests the condition. It executes the if
block if condition is true otherwise else block is
executed.
Syntax:
1. if(condition){
2. //code if condition is true
3. }else{
4. //code if condition is false
5.
}
Example:
1. public class IfElseExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int number=13;
4. if(number%2==0){
5. System.out.println("even number");
6. }else{
7. System.out.println("odd number");
8. }
9. }
10. }
Output:
Odd Number
Java IF-else-if ladder Statement
The
if-else-if ladder statement executes one condition from multiple statements.
Syntax:
1. if(condition1){
2. //code to be executed if condition1 is true
3. }else if(condition2){
4. //code to be executed if condition2 is true
5. }
6. else if(condition3){
7. //code to be executed if condition3 is true
8. }
9. ...
10. else{
11. //code to be executed if all the conditions are false
12. }
1. public class IfElseIfExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int marks=65;
4.
5. if(marks<50){
6. System.out.println("fail");
7. }
8. else if(marks>=50 && marks<60){
9. System.out.println("D grade");
10. }
11. else if(marks>=60 && marks<70){
12. System.out.println("C grade");
13. }
14. else if(marks>=70 && marks<80){
15. System.out.println("B grade");
16. }
17. else if(marks>=80 && marks<90){
18. System.out.println("A grade");
19. }else if(marks>=90 && marks<100){
20. System.out.println("A+ grade");
21. }else{
22. System.out.println("Invalid!");
23. }
24. }
25. }
Output:
C grade
Java Switch
Statement
The
Java switch statement executes one statement from multiple
conditions. It is like if-else-if ladder statement.
Syntax:
1. switch(expression){
2. case value1:
3. //code to be executed;
4. break; //optional
5. case value2:
6. //code to be executed;
7. break; //optional
8. ......
9.
10. default:
11. code to be executed if all cases are not matched;
12. }
1. public class SwitchExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int number=20;
4. switch(number){
5. case 10: System.out.println("10");break;
6. case 20: System.out.println("20");break;
7. case 30: System.out.println("30");break;
8. default:System.out.println("Not in 10, 20 or 30");
9. }
10. }
11. }
Output:
20
Java For Loop
The
Java for loop is used to iterate a part of the program several
times. If the number of iteration is fixed, it is recommended to use for loop.
There
are three types of for loop in java.
- Simple
For Loop
- For-each
or Enhanced For Loop
- Labeled
For Loop
Java Simple For Loop
The
simple for loop is same as C/C++. We can initialize variable, check condition
and increment/decrement value.
Syntax:
1. for(initialization;condition;incr/decr){
2. //code to be executed
3.
}
Example:
1. public class ForExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
4. System.out.println(i);
5. }
6. }
7.
}
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Java For-each Loop
The
for-each loop is used to traverse array or collection in java. It is easier to
use than simple for loop because we don't need to increment value and use
subscript notation.
It
works on elements basis not index. It returns element one by one in the defined
variable.
Syntax:
1. for(Type var:array){
2. //code to be executed
3.
}
Example:
1. public class ForEachExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int arr[]={12,23,44,56,78};
4. for(int i:arr){
5. System.out.println(i);
6. }
7. }
8.
}
Output:
12
23
44
56
78
Java Labeled For Loop
We
can have name of each for loop. To do so, we use label before the for loop. It
is useful if we have nested for loop so that we can break/continue specific for
loop.
Normally,
break and continue keywords breaks/continues the inner most for loop only.
Syntax:
1. labelname:
2. for(initialization;condition;incr/decr){
3. //code to be executed
4.
}
Example:
1. public class LabeledForExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. aa:
4. for(int i=1;i<=3;i++){
5. bb:
6. for(int j=1;j<=3;j++){
7. if(i==2&&j==2){
8. break aa;
9. }
10. System.out.println(i+" "+j);
11. }
12. }
13. }
14. }
Output:
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
Java Infinitive For Loop
If
you use two semicolons ;; in the for loop, it will be infinitive for loop.
Syntax:
1. for(;;){
2. //code to be executed
3.
}
Example:
1. public class ForExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. for(;;){
4. System.out.println("infinitive loop");
5. }
6. }
7.
}
Output:
infinitive loop
infinitive loop
infinitive loop
infinitive loop
infinitive loop
ctrl+c
Now,
you need to press ctrl+c to exit from the program.
Java While
Loop
The
Java while loop is used to iterate a part of the program
several times. If the number of iteration is not fixed, it is recommended to
use while loop.
Syntax:
1. while(condition){
2. //code to be executed
3.
}
Example:
1. public class WhileExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int i=1;
4. while(i<=10){
5. System.out.println(i);
6. i++;
7. }
8. }
9.
}
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

10
Java do-while
Loop
The
Java do-while loop is used to iterate a part of the program
several times. If the number of iteration is not fixed and you must have to execute
the loop at least once, it is recommended to use do-while loop.
The
Java do-while loop is executed at least once because condition
is checked after loop body.
Syntax:
1. do{
2. //code to be executed
3.
}while(condition);
Example:
1. public class DoWhileExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int i=1;
4. do{
5. System.out.println(i);
6. i++;
7. }while(i<=10);
8. }
9.
}
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

10
Java Break
Statement
The
Java break is used to break loop or switch statement. It
breaks the current flow of the program at specified condition. In case of inner
loop, it breaks only inner loop.
Syntax:
1. jump-statement;
2.
break;
Java Break Statement with Loop
Example:
1. public class BreakExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
5. break;
6. }
7. System.out.println(i);
8. }
9. }
10. }
Output:
1
2
3
4
Java Continue
Statement
The
Java continue statement is used to continue loop. It continues
the current flow of the program and skips the remaining code at specified
condition. In case of inner loop, it continues only inner loop.
Syntax:
1. jump-statement;
2.
continue;
Java Continue Statement Example
Example:
1. public class ContinueExample {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
4. if(i==5){
5. continue;
6. }
7. System.out.println(i);
8. }
9. }
10. }
Output:
