Control Statements
S.REVATHI AP/CSE
Control Statements
Programming language uses control statements to cause the
flow of execution to advance and branch based on changes to
the state of a program.
Java’s program control statements can be put into the following
categories:
selection, iteration, and jump.
Decision Making statements
◦ if statements
◦ switch statement
Loop statements
◦ do while loop
◦ while loop
◦ for loop
◦ for-each loop
Jump statements
◦ break statement
◦ continue statement
Java’s Selection Statements
Java supports two selection statements: if and switch.
These statements allow you to control the flow of your
program’s execution based upon conditions known only during
run time.
If
if (condition) statement1;
else statement2;
CODING DEMO
if-else
if (condition)
{
// condition is true, Executes this block if
}
else CODING DEMO
{
// condition is false,Executes this block if
}
nested-if
if (condition1)
// Executes when condition1 is true
if (condition2) CODING DEMO
{
// Executes when condition2 is true
}
The if-else-if Ladder
if(condition)
statement;
else if(condition)
statement;
else if(condition)
statement;

switch
switch (expression) {
case value1:
// statement sequence
break;
case value2:
// statement sequence
break;
CODING DEMO

.
case valueN:
/ statement sequence
break;
default:
// default statement sequence
}
Loop Statements
In Java, we have three types of loops that execute similarly.
However, there are differences in their syntax and condition
checking time.
for loop
while loop
do-while loop
Java for loop
for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement)
//block of statements
CODING DEMO
while loop
while(condition){
//looping statements
CODING DEMO
}
do-while loop
do
//statements
} CODING DEMO
while (condition);
Jump Statements
1.Break statement
2.Continue statement CODING DEMO
1.Break statement
The break statement is used to break the current flow of the program and
transfer the control to the next statement.
2.Continue statement
The continue statement doesn't break the loop, whereas, it skips the specific
part of the loop and jumps to the next iteration of the loop immediately.
