# `if` Statement
```
if(CONDITIONAL) {
    // STATEMENTS
    // ...
    // STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* The statements within the curly braces will only be executed if `CONDITIONAL` evaluates to `true`

--
* The `CONDITIONAL` can be a boolean literal or an expression that evaluates to a boolean value

--
    + `if(true) { ... }` — `...` will always run
--
    + `if(false) { ... }` — `...` will never run
--
    + `if(3<5) { ... }` — `...` will always run
--
    + `if(3!=4) { ... }` — `...` will always run

---
# Boolean Expressions
* The following are relational operators that can be used in boolean expressions:

+ `<` — Less than
    + `<=` — Less than or equal
    + `>` — Greater than
    + `>=` — Greater than or equal
    + `==` — Equal
    + `!=` — Not equal

--
* Relational operators can be used to produce a boolean value from two primitives

---
# Common Error Warning

> Note: `3 < 4 < 5` is not legal!

--
* Operators are evaluated from left to right and `3 < 4` evaluates to `true`

--
* That results in `true < 5` which produces an error since comparing a boolean with an `int` is illegal

---
# Boolean Logic Operators
* `!` — NOT operator: takes a single boolean value and produces the opposite

--
* `||` — OR operator: takes two boolean values and produces `true` if either value was `true`

--
* `&&` — AND operator: takes two boolean values and produces `false` if either value was `false`

---
# Boolean Expression Example 1
* `1.1 < 2.2 && 3 > 4`

--
* -> `true && 3 > 4`

--
* -> `true && false`

--
* -> `false`

---
# Boolean Expression Example 1
* `"word".length() < 8 || (1.1 < 2.2 && 3 > 4)`

--
* -> `4 < 8 || (1.1 < 2.2 && 3 > 4)`

--
* -> `true || (1.1 < 2.2 && 3 > 4)`

--
* -> `true`

--
    + Here `(1.1 < 2.2 && 3 > 4)` doesn't get evaluated because `true` OR'd with anything is `true`
--
    + This is called "short-circuit evaluation"

---
# `if`/`else` Statement
```
if(CONDITIONAL) {
    // A STATEMENTS
} else {
    // B STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* Either the `A STATEMENTS` or the `B STATEMENTS` will execute — never both and never neither

--
* `A STATEMENTS` will only be executed if `CONDITIONAL` evaluates to `true`

--
* `B STATEMENTS` will only be executed if `CONDITIONAL` evaluates to `false`

---
# `if`/`else`/`if` Statements
```
if(CONDITIONAL1) {
    // A STATEMENTS
} else if(CONDITIONAL2) {
    // B STATEMENTS
} else if(CONDITIONAL3) {
    // C STATEMENTS
} else if(CONDITIONAL4) {
    // D STATEMENTS
} else {
    // E STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* `A STATEMENTS` will only be executed if `CONDITIONAL1` evaluates to `true`

--
* `B STATEMENTS` run if `CONDITIONAL1` evaluates to `false` and `CONDITIONAL2` evaluates to `true`
    + I.e., `!CONDITIONAL1 && CONDITIONAL2`

---
# `if`/`else`/`if` Statements
```
if(CONDITIONAL1) {
    // A STATEMENTS - CONDITIONAL1
} else if(CONDITIONAL2) {
    // B STATEMENTS - !CONDITIONAL1 && CONDITIONAL2
} else if(CONDITIONAL3) {
    // C STATEMENTS - !CONDITIONAL1 && !CONDITIONAL2 && CONDITIONAL3
} else if(CONDITIONAL4) {
    // D STATEMENTS - !CONDITIONAL1 && !CONDITIONAL2 && !CONDITIONAL3 && CONDITIONAL4
} else {
    // E STATEMENTS - !CONDITIONAL1 && !CONDITIONAL2 && !CONDITIONAL3 && !CONDITIONAL4
}
```

---
# Conditionals Within Conditionals
```
if(CONDITIONAL1) {
    // A STATEMENTS
    if(CONDITIONAL2) {
        // B STATEMENTS
    } else {
        // C STATEMENTS
    }
} else {
    // D STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* `A STATEMENTS` run if `CONDITIONAL1`
* `B STATEMENTS` run if `CONDITIONAL1 && CONDITIONAL2`
* `C STATEMENTS` run if `CONDITIONAL1 && !CONDITIONAL2`
* `D STATEMENTS` run if `!CONDITIONAL1`

---
# Comparing Objects
* Relational operators (`<`, `<=`, `==`, `!=`, `>=`, and `>`) work with primitives

--
* Relational operators don't work with reference types

--
* Instead we need to ask the object to do the work: `.equals()`

--
```
String word1 = "Happy";
String word2 = "happy";
String word3 = "Happy";
boolean answer = word1.equals(word2); // false
answer = word1.equals(word3);         // true
answer = word2.equals(word1);         // false
```

---
# `while` Loop
```
while(CONDITIONAL) {
    // STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* Works just like an `if` statement except it repeatedly checks the conditional after running `STATEMENTS`

---
# `for` Loop
```
for(INITIALIZATION; CONDITIONAL; UPDATE) {
    // STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* Just like a `while` loop with the following additions:

--
    + `INITIALIZATION` runs before checking `CONDITIONAL` for the first time
--
    + `UPDATE` runs after `STATEMENTS` and before checking `CONDITIONAL`
--
    + `UPDATE` will run as many times as `CONDITIONAL` evaluates to `true`

---
# `do`/`while` Loop
```
do {
    // STATEMENTS
} while(CONDITIONAL);
```

--
* Just like a `while` loop but `STATEMENTS` runs before checking `CONDITIONAL`

--
* As a result, `STATEMENTS` always runs at least once

---
# `switch`/`case` Statement
```
switch (VARIABLE) {
    case VALUE1:
        // A STATEMENTS
    case VALUE2:
        // B STATEMENTS
        break;
    case VALUE3:
        // C STATEMENTS
        break;
    default:
        // D STATEMENTS
}
```

--
* `A STATEMENTS` **and** `B STATEMENTS` run if `VARIABLE` has the value `VALUE1`

--
* `B STATEMENTS` run if `VARIABLE` matches `VALUE2`

--
* `C STATEMENTS` run if `VARIABLE` matches `VALUE3`

--
* `D STATEMENTS` run if `VARIABLE` doesn't match `VALUE1`, `VALUE2`, or `VALUE3`

--
* `VARIABLE` must be an `String` or integer (`int`, `long`, `short`) type

---
# Variable Scope
* We say a variable identifier is **declared** when a new identifier is associated with a type:
```
String word;
int i;
```

--
* The scope of the variable is limited to the curly braces where it was declared
```
if(i==word.length()) {
    double x = 3.8;
    // ...
    // x is within scope here
}
// x is outside of scope here
```
