Control Flow Statements

Following are the control flow statements supported in Java, each statement is self explanatory with code sample.

if-then Statement

int age = 35;
if(age > 18) {
    System.out.println("Adult");
}

if-then-else Statement

int age = 35;
if(age > 18) {
    System.out.println("Adult");
}else {
    System.out.println("Child");
}

if-then-else ladder

int age = 35;
if(age >= 18) {
    System.out.println("Adult");
}else if(age < 18 && age >= 1){
    System.out.println("Child");
}else {
    System.out.println("Infant");
}

Switch

public class SwitchStatement {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int monthNumber = 11;
        switch (monthNumber) {
        case 1:
            System.out.println("January");
            break;
        case 2:
            System.out.println("February");
            break;
        case 3:
            System.out.println("March");
            break;
        case 4:
            System.out.println("April");
            break;
        case 5:
            System.out.println("May");
            break;
        case 6:
            System.out.println("June");
            break;
        case 7:
            System.out.println("July");
            break;
        case 8:
            System.out.println("August");
            break;
        case 9:
            System.out.println("September");
            break;
        case 10:
            System.out.println("October");
            break;
        case 11:
            System.out.println("November");
            break;
        case 12:
            System.out.println("December");
            break;
        default:
            System.out.println("Invalid Input, Choose between 1 & 12");
            break;
        }
    }
}

while loop

int n = 1;
while (n < 5) {
    System.out.println("Value: " + n);
    n++;
}

do-while loop

int n = 1;
do {
    System.out.println("Value: " + n);
    n++;
} while (n < 5);

for loop

for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
    System.out.println("Value: " + i);
}

Enhanced for loop

Enhanced for loop is used to easily iterate over arrays or Lists in java

int[] numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
for(int i : numbers) {
    System.out.println("Value: " + i);
}
