Learn Java - Conditionals and Control Flow Cheatsheet - Codecademy

The document discusses different types of conditional statements and logical operators in Java including if-else statements, else-if statements, nested if statements, logical AND, OR, and NOT operators, and the order of evaluation when multiple conditional operators are used. It provides examples of how to use each type of conditional or logical operator and the output results.

Conditionals and Control Flow

else Statement
The else statement executes a block of code when the boolean condition1 = false;
condition inside the if statement is false . The else
statement is always the last condition.
if (condition1){
System.out.println("condition1 is true");
}
else{
System.out.println("condition1 is not
true");
}
// Prints: condition1 is not true

else if Statements
else - if statements can be chained together to check int testScore = 76;
multiple conditions. Once a condition is true , a code block
char grade;
will be executed and the conditional statement will be
exited.
There can be multiple else - if statements in a single if (testScore >= 90) {
conditional statement. grade = 'A';
} else if (testScore >= 80) {
grade = 'B';
} else if (testScore >= 70) {
grade = 'C';
} else if (testScore >= 60) {
grade = 'D';
} else {
grade = 'F';
}

System.out.println("Grade: " + grade); //


Prints: C
if Statement
An if statement executes a block of code when a specified if (true) {
boolean expression is evaluated as true . System.out.println("This code
executes");
}
// Prints: This code executes

if (false) {
System.out.println("This code does not
execute");
}
// There is no output for the above statement

Nested Conditional Statements


A nested conditional statement is a conditional statement boolean studied = true;
nested inside of another conditional statement. The outer
boolean wellRested = true;
conditional statement is evaluated first; if the condition is
true , then the nested conditional statement will be
evaluated. if (wellRested) {
System.out.println("Best of luck today!");
if (studied) {
System.out.println("You are prepared for
your exam!");
} else {
System.out.println("Study before your
exam!");
}
}

// Prints: Best of luck today!


// Prints: You are prepared for your exam!

AND Operator
The AND logical operator is represented by && . This System.out.println(true && true); // Prints:
operator returns true if the boolean expressions on both true
sides of the operator are true ; otherwise, it returns false .
System.out.println(true && false); // Prints:
false
System.out.println(false && true); // Prints:
false
System.out.println(false && false); // Prints:
false
NOT Operator
The NOT logical operator is represented by ! . This boolean a = true;
operator negates the value of a boolean expression.
System.out.println(!a); // Prints: false

System.out.println(!false) // Prints: true

The OR Operator
The logical OR operator is represented by || . This operator System.out.println(true || true); // Prints:
will return true if at least one of the boolean expressions true
being compared has a true value; otherwise, it will return
System.out.println(true || false); // Prints:
false .
true
System.out.println(false || true); // Prints:
true
System.out.println(false || false); // Prints:
false

Conditional Operators - Order of Evaluation


If an expression contains multiple conditional operators, the boolean foo = true && (!false || true); // true
order of evaluation is as follows: Expressions in parentheses
/*
-> NOT -> AND -> OR.
(!false || true) is evaluated first because it
is contained within parentheses.

Then !false is evaluated as true because it


uses the NOT operator.

Next, (true || true) is evaluation as true.

Finally, true && true is evaluated as true


meaning foo is true. */
