2. Control Statements

The Java comments are the statements in a program that are not executed by the compiler and interpreter. Why do we use comments in a code? Types of Java Comments There are three types of comments in Java. 1) Java Single Line Comment The single-line comment is used to comment only one line of the code. It […]

The continue statement is used in loop control structure when you need to jump to the next iteration of the loop immediately. It can be used with for loop or while loop. The Java continue statement is used to continue the loop. It continues the current flow of the program and skips the remaining code at the […]

When a break statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop. The Java break statement 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. […]

The Java do-while loop is used to iterate a part of the program repeatedly, until the specified condition is true. If the number of iteration is not fixed and you must have to execute the loop at least once, it is recommended to use a do-while loop. Java do-while loop is called an exit control loop. Therefore, unlike […]

The Java while loop is used to iterate a part of the program repeatedly until the specified Boolean condition is true. As soon as the Boolean condition becomes false, the loop automatically stops. The while loop is considered as a repeating if statement. If the number of iteration is not fixed, it is recommended to use the while loop. Syntax: The […]

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 loops in Java. Java Simple for Loop A simple for loop is the same as C/C++. We can initialize the variable, check condition and increment/decrement […]

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. Since Java 7, you can use strings in the switch statement. In other words, the switch statement tests the equality of a variable […]

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. Java if Statement The Java if statement tests the condition. It executes the if block if condition is true. Syntax: Example: Output: Java if-else Statement The Java if-else statement also tests the condition. It executes the if block if condition is […]

Java compiler executes the code from top to bottom. The statements in the code are executed according to the order in which they appear. However, Java provides statements that can be used to control the flow of Java code. Such statements are called control flow statements. It is one of the fundamental features of Java, which provides […]
