Conditional Branching

• Java can take different paths to complete its execution
• State of certain code elements can determine path
• Accomplished with if, else if, and else
• When the condition is true, execute subsection of code
• Otherwise, skip it

if( logical comparison )

{

commands that execute when the logical comparison evaluates to true

}

​

Conditional Branching, cont.

• Using else if and else statements after an if allows for more branches
• When an if runs, it will automatically skip the following else ifs and else
• else if and else are optional
• else if has a logical condition just like an if statement
• else has no condition
• When an else is used, it must be the last branch

Homework

• Work on Conditionals lab if you feel you are behind
• Tomorrow is a work day
