Java Basics Practice Test: Control Statements — Flashcards

In Java, control statements are used to control the flow of execution in a program. They are used to make decisions, to loop through blocks of code multiple times, and to jump to a different part of the code based on certain conditions.
 

There are three main types of control statements in Java:
Decision-making statements: These statements allow you to make decisions about which block of code to execute based on a condition. The most common decision-making statements are the if, else if, and else statements.
Looping statements: These statements allow you to execute a block of code repeatedly until a condition becomes false. The most common looping statements are the while, do-while, and for loops.
Jump statements: These statements allow you to jump to a different part of the code based on a condition. The most common jump statements are the break, continue, and return statements.
