Java if-else Programs in NetBeans
Here are five simple examples of Java if-else programs, each demonstrating a different
application of the conditional statement. You can copy and paste this code directly into a Java
class in a NetBeans project.
1. Check if a Number is Positive, Negative, or Zero
This program takes an integer input from the user and uses if-else-if to determine if it's positive,
negative, or zero.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NumberChecker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int number = scanner.nextInt();
if (number > 0) {
System.out.println("The number is positive.");
} else if (number < 0) {
System.out.println("The number is negative.");
} else {
System.out.println("The number is zero.");
}
}
}
2. Determine if a Person is Eligible to Vote
This example checks a person's age to see if they are eligible to vote (assuming the voting age
is 18).
import java.util.Scanner;
public class VotingEligibility {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter your age: ");
int age = scanner.nextInt();
if (age >= 18) {
System.out.println("You are eligible to vote.");
} else {
System.out.println("You are not old enough to vote.");
}
}
}
3. Check for Even or Odd Number
This program uses the modulus operator (%) to check if a number is divisible by 2.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class EvenOddChecker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter an integer: ");
int number = scanner.nextInt();
if (number % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("The number is even.");
} else {
System.out.println("The number is odd.");
}
}
}
4. Compare Two Numbers
This simple program compares two numbers to see which is greater or if they are equal.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NumberComparison {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the first number: ");
int num1 = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the second number: ");
int num2 = scanner.nextInt();
if (num1 > num2) {
System.out.println(num1 + " is greater than " + num2);
} else if (num2 > num1) {
System.out.println(num2 + " is greater than " + num1);
} else {
System.out.println("The two numbers are equal.");
}
}
}
5. Simple Grade Calculator
This program calculates a student's grade based on a given score using multiple if-else-if
conditions.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class GradeCalculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the student's score: ");
int score = scanner.nextInt();
char grade;
if (score >= 90) {
grade = 'A';
} else if (score >= 80) {
grade = 'B';
} else if (score >= 70) {
grade = 'C';
} else if (score >= 60) {
grade = 'D';
} else {
grade = 'F';
}
System.out.println("The student's grade is: " + grade);
}
}
