Java If... Else Examples
This example demonstrates how to “open a door” using if..else in the event that the user inputs the proper code:
Example
int doorCode = 1337;
if (doorCode == 1337) {
System.out.println("Correct code. The door is now open.");
} else {
System.out.println("Wrong code. The door remains closed.");
}
This example demonstrates how to determine whether an integer is positive or negative using if..else:
Example
int myNum = 10; // Is this a positive or negative number?
if (myNum > 0) {
System.out.println("The value is a positive number.");
} else if (myNum < 0) {
System.out.println("The value is a negative number.");
} else {
System.out.println("The value is 0.");
}
Ascertain whether an individual is of voting age:
Example
int myAge = 25;
int votingAge = 18;
if (myAge >= votingAge) {
System.out.println("Old enough to vote!");
} else {
System.out.println("Not old enough to vote.");
}
Determine if a given number is odd or even:
Example
int myNum = 5;
if (myNum % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println(myNum + " is even");
} else {
System.out.println(myNum + " is odd");
}
