if / else

Branching with boolean expressions.

Java

if (score >= 90)      grade = 'A';
else if (score >= 80) grade = 'B';
else if (score >= 70) grade = 'C';
else                  grade = 'F';

String label = (age >= 18) ? "adult" : "minor";  // ternary

Key takeaways

✓Conditions must be boolean.
✓The ternary ?: is a compact if/else expression.
