Java Decision Making Statements

The document discusses different types of decision making statements in Java including if, else if, else, nested if, switch, and enum switch statements. It provides the syntax for each statement and examples of how to use them to execute different blocks of code conditionally based on boolean expressions or case values. Key statements covered include if/else for binary conditions, else if for multiple options, nested if for nested logic, switch for multiple options like an if/else ladder, and using enums in a switch.

Decision Making statements

&
Switch cases
Decision Making statements

• if statements

• switch statement
if statement :
syntax:

if(condition) {    

statement 1; //executes when condition is true   
}    
• If the Boolean expression evaluates to true then the block of code
inside the if statement will be executed.

• If not, the first set of code after the end of the if statement (after the
closing curly brace) will be executed.
Example

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


int x = 10;

if( x < 20 ) {
System.out.print("inside loop");
}
}

}
Else statement :
syntax:

if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}

Executes the if block if condition is true otherwise else block is


executed.
Example

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


int time = 20;
if (time < 18) {
System.out.println("Good day.");
} else {
System.out.println("Good evening.");
}
}

}
else if Statement

syntax:

if(condition 1) {    
statement 1; //executes when condition 1 is true   
}  
else if(condition 2) {  
statement 2; //executes when condition 2 is true   
}  
else {  
statement 2; //executes when all the conditions are false   
}  

executes one condition from multiple statements


Example

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


int time = 20;
if (time < 18) {
System.out.println("Good day.");
} else {
System.out.println("Good evening.");
} else if (time < 20) {
System.out.println("Good day.");
} else {
System.out.println("Good evening.");
}
}

}
Nested if-statement :
syntax:

if(condition 1) {    
statement 1; //executes when condition 1 is true   
if(condition 2) {  
statement 2; //executes when condition 2 is true   
}  
else{  
statement 2; //executes when condition 2 is false   
}  
}  
• if block within another if block.

• inner if block condition executes only when outer if block condition is


true.
Example
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


Double n1 = -1.0, n2 = 4.5, n3 = -5.3, largest;
if (n1 >= n2) {
// if...else statement inside the if block
// checks if n1 is greater than or equal to n3
if (n1 >= n3) {
largest = n1;
}
else {
largest = n3;
}
} else {
// if..else statement inside else block
// checks if n2 is greater than or equal to n3
if (n2 >= n3) {
largest = n2;
}
else {
largest = n3;
}
}
System.out.println("Largest Number: " + largest);}
}
Switch case

• execute a block of code among many alternatives

• Similar to if-else-if ladder statement

• Instead of writing many if..else statements, you can use the switch
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;  
}    
Example:
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


//Declaring a variable for switch expression
int number=10;
//Switch expression
switch(number){
//Case statements
case 10: System.out.println("10");
break;
case 20: System.out.println("20");
break;
case 30: System.out.println("30");
break;
//Default case statement
default:System.out.println("Not in 10, 20 or 30");
}
}
}
Example:

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {


int number=20;
//switch expression with int value
switch(number){
//switch cases without break statements
case 10: System.out.println("10");
case 20: System.out.println("20");
case 30: System.out.println("30");
default:System.out.println("Not in 10, 20 or
30");
}
}
}
Nested Switch Statement

• switch statement inside other switch statement is known as nested


switch statement.
Example:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//C - CSE, E - ECE, M - Mechanical
char branch = 'C';
int collegeYear = 4;
switch( collegeYear )
{
case 1:
System.out.println("English, Maths, Science");
break;
case 2:
switch( branch )
{
case 'C':
System.out.println("Operating System, Java, Data Structure");
break;
case 'E':
System.out.println("Micro processors, Logic switching theory");
break;
case 'M':
System.out.println("Drawing, Manufacturing Machines");
break;
}
break;
case 3:
switch( branch )
{
case 'C':
System.out.println("Computer Organization, MultiMedia");
break;
case 'E':
System.out.println("Fundamentals of Logic Design, Microelectronics");
break;
case 'M':
System.out.println("Internal Combustion Engines, Mechanical Vibration");
break;
}
break;
case 4:
switch( branch )
{
case 'C':
System.out.println("Data Communication and Networks, MultiMedia");
break;
case 'E':
System.out.println("Embedded System, Image Processing");
break;
case 'M':
System.out.println("Production Technology, Thermal Engineering");
break;
}
break;
}
}

}
Enum in Switch Statement

• enum is a class that represent the group of constants. (immutable


such as final variables).

• keyword enum is used and put the constants in curly braces separated
by comma.
Example:
public class SwitchEnum {
public enum Day { Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat }
public static void main(String[] args) {
Day[] DayNow = Day.values();
for (Day Now : DayNow)
{
switch (Now)
{
case Sun:
System.out.println("Sunday");
break;
case Mon:
System.out.println("Monday");
break;
case Tue:
System.out.println("Tuesday");
break;
case Wed:
System.out.println("Wednesday");
break;
case Thu:
System.out.println("Thursday");
break;
case Fri:
System.out.println("Friday");
break;
case Sat:
System.out.println("Saturday");
break;
}
}
}
