Java Control Flow and Conditional Logic

Chapter 05 covers control flow in Java, including sequential, conditional programming, and various types of statements such as IF, IF...ELSE, and SWITCH. It explains the use of comparison operators, boolean values, and logical operators to manage program flow based on conditions. The chapter also provides examples of applications for these concepts, demonstrating how to implement conditional logic in practical scenarios.

CHAPTER 05

1. Control Flow in Java

• Sequential Programming: Code runs from top to bottom, one line at a time.

• Conditional Programming: Code execution depends on specific conditions (e.g., if a user


is below 18 years old).

2. IF Statements

• The if statement runs a block of code if a condition is true.

• Example:

if (user < 18) {

[Link]("You are a minor.");

3. Comparison Operators

• <: Less than

• >: Greater than

• <=: Less than or equal

• >=: Greater than or equal

• ==: Equal to

• These operators are used to compare values.

4. IF…ELSE Statements

• Use an if…else statement when there are two possible outcomes: one when the
condition is true, and the other when it's false.

• Example:

if (user < 18) {

[Link]("You are a minor.");

} else {
[Link]("You are an adult.");

IF…ELSE IF Statements

• This allows you to handle more than two choices by adding multiple else if conditions.

• Example:

if (user < 18) {

[Link]("You are a minor.");

} else if (user >= 18 && user <= 39) {

[Link]("You are a young adult.");

} else {

[Link]("You are an adult.");

6. Nested IF Statements

• You can place one if statement inside another to check multiple conditions.

• Example:

if (user < 19) {

if (user >= 16) {

[Link]("You are a young teenager.");

} else {

[Link]("You are a child.");

Boolean Values & Logical Operators

• Boolean values can only be true or false.


• Logical Operators:

o &&: AND — Both conditions must be true.

o ||: OR — At least one condition must be true.

o !: NOT — Reverses the condition.

• Example:

if (user == true) {

[Link]("User is verified.");

if (!user) {

[Link]("User is not verified.");

SWITCH Statements

• A switch statement is an alternative to a long series of if…else if statements. It checks a


variable against multiple values.

• Example:

switch (userAge) {

case 18:

[Link]("You are 18 years old.");

break;

case 19:

[Link]("You are 19 years old.");

break;

case 20:

[Link]("You are 20 years old.");

break;
default:

[Link]("Age not recognized.");

Key Concepts:

• Conditional logic: Helps control the flow of a program based on conditions.

• IF, ELSE, ELSE IF: Used for binary or multiple choices.

• SWITCH: Simplifies conditions when there are many possible values to check.

Example Applications:

1. IF Statements:
Check if a student has passed:

int score = 85;

if (score >= 75) {

[Link]("Student passed.");

IF…ELSE Statements:
Check if the temperature is hot or cold:

int temperature = 30;

if (temperature > 25) {

[Link]("It is hot.");

} else {

[Link]("It is cold.");

}
Switch Statements:
Assign a grade based on score:

int score = 85;

switch (score / 10) {

case 10:

case 9:

[Link]("Grade: A");

break;

case 8:

[Link]("Grade: B");

break;

case 7:

[Link]("Grade: C");

break;

default:

[Link]("Grade: F");
