if/else statement

Simple if statement

In this example we shall show you how to use a simple if statement. The if-else statement is the most basic of all the control flow statements. It tells your program to execute a certain section of code only if a particular expression evaluates to true. To use a simple if statement one should perform the following steps:

  • Create a new boolean variable set to false.
  • Use the boolean inside the if expression and execute some code if the expression inside the if statement is true,

as described in the code snippet below.

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.basics;
 
public class SimpleIfStatementExample {
     
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         
        boolean b = true;
         
        if (b)
            System.out.println("Variable value is true");
         
    }
 
}
