Introduction to Java

Loops and Conditional


Statements

This presentation will provide an overview of the fundamental control flow


structures in Java - loops and conditional statements. We'll explore how to use
these constructs to write more powerful and flexible Java programs.

Understanding Loops in Java
1 For Loop
Executes a block of code a fixed number of times, with a counter variable
controlling the loop.

2 While Loop
Continues to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.

3 Do-While Loop
Executes a block of code at least once, then continues to execute it as long as a
specified condition is true.
For Loop
Syntax Use Cases Example

for (initialization; condition; Ideal for situations where you for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
increment/decrement) { // code know the exact number of { System.out.println("Iteration "
block } iterations needed, such as + i); }
traversing an array or
performing a task a fixed
number of times.
While Loop
1 Syntax 2 Use Cases
while (condition) { // code block } Useful when the number of iterations is
unknown or depends on a specific
condition being met.

3 Example
int count = 0; while (count < 5) { System.out.println("Iteration " + count); count++; }
Do-While Loop
Syntax Use Cases
do { // code block } while (condition); Guarantees that the code block will be
executed at least once, even if the
condition is false.

Example
int count = 0; do { System.out.println("Iteration " + count); count++; } while (count < 5);
Conditional Statements in Java

If-Else Switch
Executes different blocks of code based on a single Provides a more concise way to handle multiple
condition. conditions.
If-Else Statement

Simple If If-Else Nested If-Else


Executes a block of code if the Executes one block of code if Allows for complex decision
condition is true. the condition is true, and making by nesting multiple if-
another if it's false. else statements.
Switch Statement
Syntax switch (expression) { case value1: // code block
break; case value2: // code block break; ...
default: // code block }

Use Cases Useful when you have multiple conditions to


check, especially when the conditions involve
discrete values.

Example int day = 3; switch (day) { case 1:


System.out.println("Monday"); break; case 2:
System.out.println("Tuesday"); break; default:
System.out.println("Invalid day"); }
Conclusion and Key Takeaways
In this presentation, we've explored the fundamental control flow structures in Java - loops and conditional
statements. These constructs allow us to write more dynamic and powerful programs that can adapt to different
scenarios and requirements.

The key takeaways are: 1) Loops (for, while, do-while) provide a way to execute a block of code repeatedly, 2)
Conditional statements (if-else, switch) enable decision-making in our programs, and 3) Combining these structures
can lead to complex and robust Java applications.
