Terms
of Use The
"if ... else" Statements
 |
Let's look
at situations when the word "otherwise" can be
used in your decision making! |
if (test
condition)
{
block of one;
or more C++ statements;
}
else
{
block of one;
or more C++ statements;
} |
If the test condition is TRUE, the
block of statements following the "if" executes. If the test
condition FALSE, however, the block of statements following the
"else" executes instead. |
Example:
// example of if ... else
String city = Console.readLine("Enter city name:");
int population = Console.readInt("Enter population");
if (population >= 543876)
{
System.out.println("According to the census,
" +
city
+ " is one of \n the 100 largest cities.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("According to the census,
" +
city
+ " is not one of \n the 100 largest cities.");
} |
