Question 10

Case study 1
To check for a condition and execute the statements based on the condition can be done using the decision control statements. The two decision control statements in java are if and switch, switch is also called as multiple branching statement. An if statement within another if statement is termed as Nested if Statement. Repetitive execution of a set of statements is termed as looping. The two types of looping statements are entry controlled and exit controlled loops. Both while and for are termed as entry-controlled loops. A for loop is used when the number of iterations is known. A while is used when the set of statements are executed as long as the condition is true, it is executed when the number of iterations are not known.
(a) What are the two decision control statements in java?
1. if and switch
2. for and while
3. ternary and logical
(b) An if statement within another if statement is termed as
1. Nested
2. Nested while
3. Nested if
(c) Name given for repetitive execution of set of statements.
1. Looping
2. Decision Control
3. Assignment
(d) Which one of the following does not execute even once?
1. for(k = 1; k<=100;k++);
2. for(k=10;k<1;k++);
3. for(k=1;k>=1;k++);
