Java if else example

Question: Can you show me an example of the Java if/then syntax?

Answer: Sure, here you go:

package com.devdaily.javasamples;

public class IfThenTest
{

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String month ="April";
    if (month.equals("January"))
    {
      System.out.println("Month was January");
    }
    else if (month.equals("February"))
    {
      System.out.println("Month was February");
    }
    else
    {
      System.out.println("Month was something else");
    }
  }

}

Note that you can write simple if/then statements without using the curly braces ("{" and "}"), but in practice I strongly recommend using them (because when your code changes later on those curly braces make nice little containers that make your tests really obvious).
