Controlling Program Flow in Java (Java SE 11 Developer Certification 1Z0-819) from Pluralsight

This course will teach you the tips and tricks of managing application control flow in Java to help prepare you for the certification exam.

Looping and conditional logic are a foundational part of every Java application. Understanding them is essential to success. In this course, Controlling Program Flow in Java (Java SE 11 Developer Certification 1Z0-819), you’ll learn the tips and tricks of managing application control flow in Java to help prepare you for the certification exam. First, you’ll explore some of the more complex usage scenarios of conditional logic. Next, you’ll discover how to effectively work with complex nested loops. Finally, you’ll learn how to incorporate branching in your loops and avoid infinite loops. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Java application control flow needed to prepare you to succeed as you take the certification exam.

Conditional Logic is the idea that you can set rules or conditions that caue your process to change based on an input.

In this course, you will learn about conditional logic and how to use it, how to work with switch statements, looping behaviors, and complex looping and branching.

This course will give you a thorough knowledge of controlling program flow in Java for the Java certification exam.

A switch statement is a type of selection control mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or expression to change the control flow or program execution via search and map.

Branching is used in version control and software management to maintain stability while isolated changes are made to code. This makes the development of bug fixes, additional capabilities, and the version integrations available after they have been tested in isolation.
