CONTROL STRUCTURES
OR
CONTROL STATEMENTS
IN JAVA
CONTROL STATEMENTS
The control statements are used to control the flow of
execution of the program.
This execution order depends on the supplied data values
and the conditional logic.
In java program, control structures can be divided in three
parts:
1. Selection statement
2. Iteration statement
3. Jumps in statement
CONTROL STATEMENTS
1. SELECTION STATEMENT
SELECTION STATEMENT
• Selection statement is also called as Decision making
statements.
• Because it provides the decision making capabilities to the
statements.
• In selection statement, there are two types:
1. if statement
2. Switch statement.
JAVA IF STATEMENT
JAVA IF STATEMENT
• 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.
1. if statement
2. if-else statement
3. Nested if-else statement
4. if-else-if ladder
IF STATEMENT
• The Java if statement tests the condition.
• It executes the if block if condition is true.
Syntax:
if(condition)
{
//code to be executed
}
IF STATEMENT
Example:
public class IfExample
{
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
int age=20;
if(age>18)
{
System.out.print("Age is greater than 18");
}
}}
Output: Age is greater than 18
IF - ELSE STATEMENT
• The Java if-else statement also tests the condition.
• It executes the if block if condition is true otherwise else
block is executed.
Syntax:
if(condition)
{
//code if condition is true
}
Else
{
//code if condition is false
}
IF - ELSE STATEMENT
public class IfElseExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int number=13;
if(number%2==0)
{
System.out.println("even number");
}
Else
{
System.out.println("odd number");
} }}
Output: odd number
NESTED IF - ELSE STATEMENT
• The Nested if-else statement executes one if or else if
statement inside another if or else if statement.
Syntax:
if(Boolean_expression 1)
{
// Executes when the Boolean expression 1 is true
if(Boolean_expression 2)
{
// Executes when the Boolean expression 2 is true
}
}
NESTED IF - ELSE
NESTED IF - ELSE
public class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x = 30;
int y = 10;
if( x == 30 )
{
if( y == 10 )
{
System.out.print("X = 30 and Y = 10");
}
}}}
IF - ELSE - IF LADDER
• The if-else-if ladder statement executes one condition from multiple
statements.
Syntax:
if(condition1)
{
//code to be executed if condition1 is true
}
else if(condition2)
{
//code to be executed if condition2 is true
}
else if(condition3)
{
//code to be executed if condition3 is true
}
...
Else
{
//code to be executed if all the conditions are false
IF - ELSE - IF LADDER
IF - ELSE - IF LADDER
public class IfElseIfExample else if(marks>=70 && marks<80)
{ {
public static void main(String[] args) System.out.println("B grade");
{ }
int marks=65; else if(marks>=80 && marks<90)
if(marks<50) {
{ System.out.println("A grade");
System.out.println("fail"); }
} else if(marks>=90 && marks<100)
else if(marks>=50 && marks<60) {
{ System.out.println("A+ grade");
System.out.println("D grade"); }
} else
{
else if(marks>=60 && marks<70)
System.out.println("Invalid!");
{
}}}
System.out.println("C grade");
}
Output: C grade
SWITCH STATEMENT
SWITCH STATEMENT
• The Java switch statement executes one statement from
multiple conditions.
• It is like if-else-if ladder statement.
Syntax:
switch(expression)
{
case value1:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
case value2:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
......
default:
code to be executed if all cases are not matched;
}
SWITCH STATEMENT
SWITCH STATEMENT
public class SwitchExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int number=20;
switch(number)
{
case 10: System.out.println("10");break;
case 20: System.out.println("20");break;
case 30: System.out.println("30");break;
default:System.out.println("Not in 10, 20 or 30");
}}}
Output: 20
2. ITERATION STATEMENT
ITERATION STATEMENT
• Looping is also called as iterations.
• The process of repeatedly executing a statements and is
called as looping.
• The statements may be executed multiple times.
• If a loop executing continuous then it is called as Infinite
loop.
• In Iteration statement, there are three types of operation:
1. for loop
2. while loop
3. do-while loop
FOR LOOP
FOR LOOP
• The simple for loop is same as C/C++.
• We can initialize variable, check condition
and increment/decrement value.
Syntax:
for(initialization;condition;incr/decr)
{
//code to be executed
}
FOR LOOP EXAMPLE
public class ForExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
}
}
Output:
12345678910
THE WHILE LOOP
WHILE LOOP
• The Java while loop is used to iterate a part of the program
several times.
• If the number of iteration is not fixed, it is recommended
to use while loop.
Syntax:
while(condition)
{
//code to be executed
}
WHILE LOOP
public class WhileExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=1;
while(i<=10)
{
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
} }
Output:
12345678910
JAVA DO - WHILE LOOP
DO - WHILE LOOP
• The Java do-while loop is used to iterate a part of the program
several times.
• If the number of iteration is not fixed and you must have to
execute the loop at least once, it is recommended to use do-
while loop.
• The Java do-while loop is executed at least once because
Condition is checked after loop body.
Syntax:
Do
{
//code to be executed
}
while(condition);
DO - WHILE LOOP
public class DoWhileExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=1;
do
{
System.out.print(i);
i++;
}
while(i<=8);
}
}
Output:
12345678
