Control Structures in Java: Decision-Making, Loops, and Examples

Control Structures in Java

Control structures are essential for directing the flow of a Java program. They
determine the order in which statements are executed.

1. Conditional Statements
1. if Statement:
o Executes a block of code if a specified condition is true.
o Syntax:
o if (condition) {
o // Code to execute if condition is true
}

2. if-else Statement:
o Provides an alternative block of code if the condition is false.
o Syntax:
o if (condition) {
o // Code to execute if condition is true
o } else {
o // Code to execute if condition is false
}

3. if-else-if Ladder:
o Used to test multiple conditions.
o Syntax:
o if (condition1) {
o // Code for condition1
o } else if (condition2) {
o // Code for condition2
o } else {
o // Default code
}
