Conditional Statements

In Chapter 3, we learned about Java operators. We discussed two important properties of operators, namely, precedence and associativity. Precedence helps group shared operands. When precedence levels match, associativity is then used for grouping.

We also covered the binary operators – arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, and compound assignment. We learned about the behavior of the + symbol when one (or both) operands is a string.
