      Decision Making

      Java Tutorial

      This Java tutorial is tailored for newcomers, offering a journey from basic principles to complex Java programming techniques. Completing this tutorial equips you with a solid understanding of Java, preparing you for advanced learning. You'll emerge ready to tackle the challenges of becoming a top-tier software engineer, with the skills to innovate and excel in the vast world of software development.

      Decision Making

      Decision making structures have one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program, along with a statement or statements that are to be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.
      Following is the general form of a typical decision making structure found in most of the programming languages
      
      Java programming language provides following types of decision making statements. Click the following links to check their detail.
      Sr.No.
      Statement & Description
      1
      if statement
      An if statement consists of a boolean expression followed by one or more statements.
      2
      if...else statement
      An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the boolean expression is false.
      3
      nested if statement
      You can use one if or else if statement inside another if or else if statement(s).
      4
      switch statement
      A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.

      The ? : Operator

      We have covered conditional operator ? : in the previous chapter which can be used to replace if...else statements. It has the following general form 
      Exp1 ? Exp2 : Exp3;
      Where Exp1, Exp2, and Exp3 are expressions. Notice the use and placement of the colon.
      To determine the value of the whole expression, initially exp1 is evaluated.
      • If the value of exp1 is true, then the value of Exp2 will be the value of the whole expression.
      • If the value of exp1 is false, then Exp3 is evaluated and its value becomes the value of the entire expression.

      Example

      In this example, we're creating two variables a and b and using ternary operator we've decided the values of b and printed it.
      public class Test {
      
         public static void main(String args[]) {
            int a, b;
            a = 10;
            b = (a == 1) ? 20: 30;
            System.out.println( "Value of b is : " +  b );
      
            b = (a == 10) ? 20: 30;
            System.out.println( "Value of b is : " + b );
         }
      }

      Output

      Value of b is : 30
      Value of b is : 20

      What is Next?

      In the next chapter, we will discuss about Number class (in the java.lang package) and its subclasses in Java Language.
      We will be looking into some of the situations where you will use instantiations of these classes rather than the primitive data types, as well as classes such as formatting, mathematical functions that you need to know about when working with Numbers.
