<!--
- // For Each Loop
- // The for loop is also able to iterate over arrays as well as objects
- // that implement the Iterable interface.
- int[] fooList = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
- // for each loop structure => for (<object> : <iterable>)
- // reads as: for each element in the iterable
- // note: the object type must match the element type of the iterable.
-
- for (int bar : fooList) {
- System.out.println(bar);
- //Iterates 9 times and prints 1-9 on new lines
- }
-
- // Switch Case
- // A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int data types.
- // It also works with enumerated types (discussed in Enum Types), the
- // String class, and a few special classes that wrap primitive types:
- // Character, Byte, Short, and Integer.
- int month = 3;
- String monthString;
- switch (month) {
- case 1: monthString = "January";
- break;
- case 2: monthString = "February";
- break;
- case 3: monthString = "March";
- break;
- default: monthString = "Some other month";
- break;
- }
- System.out.println("Switch Case Result: " + monthString);
-
- // Conditional Shorthand
- // You can use the '?' operator for quick assignments or logic forks.
- // Reads as "If (statement) is true, use <first value>, otherwise, use
- // <second value>"
- int foo = 5;
- String bar = (foo < 10) ? "A" : "B";
- System.out.println(bar); // Prints A, because the statement is true
