The pseudo-code fragment follows:
switch(expression){
case constant:sequence of optional statements
break; //optionalcase constant:
sequence of optional statementsbreak; //optional
..
.default //optional
sequence of optional statements} An expression is tested against a series of unique integer constants. If a match is found, the sequence of optional statements associated with thematching constant is executed. Execution of statements continues until an optional break is encountered. When break is encountered, execution of the switch statement is terminated and control is passed to the next statement following the switch statement.
If no match is found and the optional default keyword along with a sequence of optional statements has been provided, those statements willbe executed.
The general syntax of the switch-case statement follows:
switch(expression){
case constant:sequence of optional statements
break; //optionalcase constant:
sequence of optional statementsbreak; //optional
..
.default //optional
sequence of optional statements} The general syntax of the if-else statement is:
if(conditional expression)
statement or compound statement;else //optional
statement or compound statement; //optional The significance of an entry condition loop is that the conditional expression is tested before the statements in the loop are executed. If it testsfalse initially, the statements in the loop will not be executed.
True.
True. Note however that including a return statement inside a while statement is probably considered poor programming practice.
The general syntax of a while statement follows :
while (conditional expression)
statement or compound statement; The following table lists the statements supported by Java for controlling the logical flow of the program.
