Conditional Statements, thesarfo

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (condition) {
            // do this
        } else if (another_condition) {
            // do this
        } else {
            // do this

You can have multiple else if statements and nested if statements, but they can become too verbose and complex. There’s a simpler way called switch-case that can do the same thing as a complicated if-else ladder.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        switch (variable_you_wanna_check) {
            case "first":
                // do something
                break;
            case "second":
                // do something
                break;
            case "third":
                // do something
                break;
            default: {
                // do this if none of the above cases are met
            }
        }
    }
}
