                          Writing Some More Programs




                  The programs we have developed so far execute instructions sequentially from top to bottom.
                  However, there are scenarios where altering the sequence of statement execution is necessary.
                  Additionally, we may need to repeat certain statements multiple times. Furthermore, there are
                  cases where we need to terminate the execution of specific statements prematurely. To address
                  these requirements, we use control flow statements. Java provides three types of control flow
                  statements, which are as follows:
                     Conditional Statements            Looping Statements                Jump Statements
                  Let us learn about these in detail.

                     CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                  In Java, conditional statements help the program to make decisions. They allow different code
                  blocks to be executed depending on whether specified conditions are true or false. This way, the
                  program determines and executes appropriate actions based on different situations. Conditional
                  statements are also referred to as decision-making statement.
                  There are four decision-making statements in Java as follows:
                     if statement
                     if … else statement

                     if … else… if statement
                     switch statement
                  Let‘s learn about these decision-making statements in Java.
                  The if Statement

                  The if statement is the simplest form of a conditional statement in Java. If the condition in the if
                  statement is true, the statements inside its body will be executed. If the condition is evaluated as
                  false, the statements inside the if block will be skipped and execution will move to the next part
                  of the code.
