Printing

void System.out.print(String s) print s

void System.out.println(String s) print s
Followed by new line

void System.out.println() print a new line

if and if else statement
Nested if-else statement.

// Outer if statement.
if(condition)
{
// Inner if statement defined in outer if else statement.
if(condition)
statement1;
}
// Else part of outer if statement.
else {
statement2;
}
For example:
if (x > y)
{
if (y > z)
System.out.println("x is greater than y and z"); //
statement1.
}
else
System.out.println("x is less than or equal to y"); //
statement2.
if-else if Ladder Statements in Java

if(condition)
statement1;
else if(condition)
statement2;
else if(condition)
statement3;
...
else
statement4;

while loop.

Loop Continuation condition

int power = 1;
while ( power <= n/2)
{
power = 2*power;
}

Brackets are option when body BODY

is a single statement
For Loop

Loop Continuation
declare and initialize a
condition
loop control value
Increment

int power = 1;
for ( int i = 0 ; i<=n ; i++)
{
System.out.println( i + " " + power)
power = 2*power
}

Body
Loops.
Switch statement.

switch(expression){
case value1:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
case value2:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
......

default:
code to be executed if all cases are not
matched;
}
