Chapter 6: More Conditionals and Loops

These flashcards cover key concepts from Chapter 6 on conditionals and loops in Java.

Switch Statement

A control statement that evaluates an expression and matches the result to multiple possible cases.

Conditional Operator

A ternary operator that evaluates one of two expressions based on a boolean condition.

Do Statement

A control structure that executes a statement-list once and then repeatedly executes it while a condition is true.

For Loop

A control structure that provides a compact way to iterate over a range or collection.

Graphic Transformations

Techniques used to manipulate the display of graphical objects including translation, scaling, rotation, and shearing.

Default Case

A case in a switch statement that executes if none of the specified case values match the expression.

Exhaustive Switch Expression

A switch expression that includes a default case to handle unmatched values.

For-each Loop

A simplified version of the for loop used to iterate over elements in a collection without needing an explicit iterator.

JavaFX Transformations

Transformations applied to nodes in JavaFX that change their visual presentation.

Increment Section in For Loop

The part of the for loop that updates the loop control variable after each iteration.
