Java If...Else

Use if, else if and else to choose between paths.

ExampleJava

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int score = 72;
    if (score >= 90) {
      System.out.println("A");
    } else if (score >= 70) {
      System.out.println("B");
    } else {
      System.out.println("C");
    }

    // Short-hand: the ternary operator
    String result = (score >= 50) ? "pass" : "fail";
    System.out.println(result);
  }
}

Output

B
pass
