What are the java flow control statements?

Java flow control statements: 1. if statement; 2. if-else statement; 3. switch statement; 4. while loop; 5. do-while loop; 6. for loop; 7. foreach loop; 8. break statement; 9. continue statement; 10. return statement. Detailed introduction: 1. if statement, used to execute a code block based on a certain condition; 2. if-else statement, used to execute a code block based on a condition, otherwise execute another code block, etc.

The operating system for this tutorial: Windows 10 system, DELL G3 computer.

The flow control statements in the Java language mainly include the following types:

1. If statement: is used to execute a code block based on a certain condition.

if (condition) {  
    // code to be executed if the condition is true  
}

2. if-else statement: is used to execute a code block based on conditions, otherwise execute another code block.

if (condition) {  
    // code to be executed if the condition is true  
} else {  
    // code to be executed if the condition is false  
}

3. Switch statement: is used to execute different code blocks based on different conditions. It is usually used when dealing with multiple selections.

switch (variable) {  
    case value1:  
        // code to be executed if variable equals value1  
        break;  
    case value2:  
        // code to be executed if variable equals value2  
        break;  
    default:  
        // code to be executed if variable doesn't match any values  
}

4. While loop: is used to repeatedly execute a piece of code until the given condition is no longer met.

while (condition) {  
    // code to be executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false  
}

5. do-while loop: First execute a piece of code, and then check the conditions. If the condition is true, the execution is repeated. This loop will be executed at least once.

do {  
    // code to be executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false  
} while (condition);

6. for loop: is used to repeatedly execute a piece of code a specified number of times. It consists of three parts: initialization, conditions and follow-up.

for (initialization; condition; update) {  
    // code to be executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false  
}

7. foreach loop: Used to traverse each element in an array or collection.

for (element : collection) {  
    // code to be executed for each element in the collection  
}

8. Break statement: Used to exit the loop or switch statement early. When a break statement is encountered, the program will immediately jump out of the current loop or switch statement.

9. Continue statement: is used to skip the remaining part of the current loop and enter the next loop. When a continue statement is encountered, the program will skip the remaining part of this loop and start the next loop directly.

10. Return statement: is used to return early from the method and can return a value. When the method executes to the return statement, it immediately ends the execution of the method and returns to the code that called the method. If the method has a return type, the return statement must return a value that is compatible with the return type.
