Control Flow Constructs in Java

1. Simple if Construct

Syntax:
if (condition) {
// statement(s)
}

Flowchart:
Start → [Condition true?] → Yes → Execute statement → End
↘ No → End

Example Code (5 lines):


public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 10;
if (a > 5)
System.out.println("a is greater than 5");
}
}

Output:
a is greater than 5

2. if...else Construct

Syntax:
if (condition) {
// if block
} else {
// else block
}

Flowchart:
Start → [Condition true?] → Yes → If block → End
↘ No → Else block → End

Example Code (5 lines):


public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 3;
if (a > 5)
System.out.println("a > 5");
else
System.out.println("a <= 5");
}
}

Output:
a <= 5

3. Nested if...else Construct

Syntax:
if (condition1) {
if (condition2) {
// code
} else {
// code
}
} else {
// code
}

Flowchart:
Start → [Condition1?] → Yes → [Condition2?] → Yes → Inner If block → End
↘ No → Inner Else block → End
↘ No → Outer Else block → End

Example Code (5 lines):


public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 10;
if (a > 0)
if (a % 2 == 0)
System.out.println("Positive even");
else
System.out.println("Positive odd");
}
}

Output:
Positive even
4. else if Ladder Construct

Syntax:
if (cond1) {
// code
} else if (cond2) {
// code
} else {
// default
}

Flowchart:
Start → [Cond1?] → Yes → Block1 → End
↘ No → [Cond2?] → Yes → Block2 → End
↘ No → Else block → End

Example Code (5 lines):


public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 0;
if (a > 0)
System.out.println("Positive");
else if (a < 0)
System.out.println("Negative");
else
System.out.println("Zero");
}
}

Output:
Zero

5. switch Construct

Syntax:
switch (expression) {
case val1:
// code
break;
default:
// default code
}
Flowchart:
Start → Evaluate expression
→ Match case1? → Yes → Case1 code → End
→ Match case2? → Yes → Case2 code → End
→ No match → Default code → End

Example Code (5 lines):


public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int day = 1;
switch(day) {
case 1: System.out.println("Monday"); break;
default: System.out.println("Other day");
}
}
}

Output:
Monday

6. Difference Between while and do...while


Feature while do...while

Condition Check Before the loop After the loop

Executes at least once No guarantee Yes, always once

Syntax while (cond) { } do { } while (cond);

Example (while):
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 5;
while (i < 5)
System.out.println("Hello");
}
}

Output:
(no output)
Example (do...while):
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 5;
do
System.out.println("Hello");
while (i < 5);
}
}

Output:
Hello
