Methods

Direct the flow of your code using conditional logic. Use if, else if, and else statements to handle different scenarios, and combine conditions with logical operators like && and ||. Build the kind of branching logic that real-world programs rely on.

Strengthen your Java fundamentals by learning how to write reusable methods, control the flow of your programs, and automate repetitive tasks with loops. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll combine these core skills to build structured, flexible, and maintainable code. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident writing custom logic using real-world programming patterns that form the backbone of Java development.

<h2>Write Reusable, Structured Java Code</h2>
Take your Java skills to the next level by mastering methods, control flow, and loops—three essential building blocks of real-world programming. In this course, you'll learn how to define your own methods to keep your code organized and avoid repetition. You’ll also explore how to pass information into methods using parameters and return values to make your code more flexible and powerful.<br><br>

<h2>Build Smarter Logic with Control Flow and Loops</h2>
Once you’re comfortable writing methods, you’ll learn how to guide your program’s behavior using conditional logic. Practice writing <code>if</code>, <code>else if</code>, and <code>else</code> statements, and combine them with logical operators to handle multiple conditions. Then, discover how to use different types of loops—including <code>for</code> and <code>while</code>—to repeat tasks efficiently and iterate over Strings and arrays.<br><br>

<h2>Practice Real-World Coding Patterns</h2>
Throughout the course, you’ll apply what you learn in hands-on exercises that bring everything together. You’ll build your own methods, use them inside loops, and apply conditionals to create flexible workflows. By the end, you’ll not only understand how to write cleaner, more maintainable code—you’ll have a toolkit of foundational patterns used by professional Java developers every day.
