Your Aim
to learn about:
Conditional Statements Loop Statements
Jump Statements Errors in Java
Writing Some More Programs
The programs we have written so far were executed statement by statement in a top-to-bottom
approach. However, sometimes we need to change the order of execution for statements or
repeat some statements a certain number of times. Additionally, there are some situations where
we need to stop the execution of certain statements. Java provides three types of statements to
handle these requirements:
Conditional Statements
Loop Statements
Jump Statements
Let us learn about these in detail.
CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS
Conditional statements allow us to change the default flow of a program. They transfer control of
a program from one statement to another, depending on the condition provided. If the provided
condition returns true, a block of specified statements is executed. Conditional statements are
also known as decision-making statements.
There are four decision-making statements in Java:
if statement
if … else statement
if … else… if statement
switch statement
Let‘s learn more about them.
