Control Flow Statements

Control flow statements in Java, also known as decision-making statements, are used to control the execution flow of a program. The four main types include if statements, if-else statements, else-if statements, and switch-case statements, each with specific syntax and use cases. These statements allow for conditional execution based on Boolean conditions and are essential for creating dynamic and interactive programs.

Control Flow Statements:-

-> Control Flow statements are also known as decision making statements.
-> Control low statements are used to control the flow of execution.
-> In java there are 4 decision statements:-

a.) if statement
b.) if else statement
c.) else if statement
d.) switch case statement

A.) If statement:-

-> Syntax:-

if(condition)
{
statements;
}

-> Condition is in Boolean format i.e either true or false.


-> if condition is true, then if block get's executed.

B.) If else statement:-


-> Syntax:-

if(condition)
{
statements;
}
else
{
statements;
}

-> Condition is in Boolean format i.e either true or false.


-> if condition is true, then if block gets executed.
-> if condition is false, then else block gets executed.

C.) else if statement:-


-> Syntax:-

if(condition 1)
{
statements;
}
else if(condition 2)
{
statements;
}
else if(condition 3)
{
statements;
}
.
.
.
.
else
{
statements;
}

-> else if statement is used to make multiple conditions at a time.


-> if block gets executed if the first condition is true and the rest blocks will
be
ignored.

-> if condition 1 is false, then it goes and checks for the next condition. If the
next conditions are true then that else if block gets executed and vice-versa.

-> else block get's executed if all the conditions are false.

D.) switch case statement:-


-> switch case statements are used to create Menu Driven Programs.
-> A menu based program is a console based program by choosing an option that
perform some tasks.
-> Syntax:-

switch(value/variableName/expression)
{
case 1:
{
statements;
}
break;

case 2:
{
statements;
}
break;

case 3:
{
statements;
}
break;

.
.
.
.
.

default:
{
statements;
}
}

Working:-
-> switch accepts value( literal ) or variableName( identifier ).
Based on the switch value, that particular case block get's executed.

-> default block gets executed if switch value and case value does not match.

-> In switch case statement - long, float, double, char Boolean datatypes are not
allowed in switch case.
