String Methods

Condition

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int ageA = 27;
    int ageB = 25;

    if (ageA > ageB){
        System.out.println("I am older");

        System.out.println("You are older");
    } else {
        System.out.println("We are age mates.");
    }
  }
}

Switch

class Main{
    static void main(String[] args){
int age = 27;
switch (age) {
      case 25 -> System.out.println("Not my age");
      case 26 -> System.out.println("Add 1 and you will be correct.");

      default -> System.out.println("Why not ask me instead of taking a guess.");
        }
   }
}

For Loop

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       int age = 27;

       for(int x = 0; i < age; x++){
           System.out.println("Age is " + x);
       }
    }
}

While Loop

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     //while example1
        int x = 9;
    while (x < 15){
        System.out.println(x);
        x++;
        }
//while example2
                 int x = 9

                 x--;
               }

}

Do/while Loop

// do/while example1
           int x = 8;
        do{
            System.out.println(x);
             x++;
             }

                     do {
                       System.out.println(x);
                       x++;
                     }
                  while (x >15);        //this will still print despite having a false condition. That is what differentiate it from do loop.

Function

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int response = addSum(2, 3);
        System.out.println(response);

Atomicity

AtomicInteger atomicInt = new AtomicInteger(0);

atomicInt.incrementAndGet(); // ++count
atomicInt.getAndIncrement(); // count++

atomicInt.decrementAndGet(); // --count

atomicInt.addAndGet(5);      // count += 5

boolean updated = atomicInt.compareAndSet(5, 10); 
// if current value == 5, update to 10

Array

        for (int item : arrays) {

Override (Polymorphism)

public class Main {

        Dog dog = new Dog();
        dog.sound();

    }

}

Wrapper Class

public class Main {

        Integer num = 90;
        Float f1 = 90.90F;      //use wrapper class if you are working with collections, JSON serialization, null-checking
        System.out.println(num.equals(90)); //stick with primitives if you need performance and don't need object features.
    }
//  Wrapper classes provide helper methods (e.g., Integer.parseInt(), Double.compare()).

String Builder

public class Main {
