Time	Narration
00:02	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Nested-If and Ternary Operator in java.
00:07	By the end of this tutorial you should be able to: Explain Nested-If Statements and Ternary operators. Use them in a Java program.
00:17	For this tutorial we are using: Ubuntu v 11.10, JDK 1.6,and EclipseIDE 3.7.0
00:27	To follow this tutorial, you should know,
00:29	about the usage of relational and logical operators.
00:33	And if...else control flow statements.
00:36	If not, for relevant tutorial please visit our website which is as shown.
00:41	Nested if statements, An If statement within another if statement is called a nested-if statement.
00:49	Now let us look at the syntax for writing the Nested-If statement.
00:53	In this case, if condition 1 is true, then the program checks for condition 2.
00:59	Condition 2 is given using another If statement.
01:03	If condition 2 is true, then the program executes Statement or block 1.
01:09	Else, it executes Statement or block 2.
01:13	If condition 1 is false, then the program will not check condition2.
01:18	Instead it will directly jump to its else statement i.e. block 3.
01:24	now Let us try an example to understand that better
01:28	We have the eclipse IDE and the skeleton required for the rest of the code.
01:32	We have created a class NesedIfDemo and added the main method to it.
01:37	We shall check if the given number is a even number or an odd number.
01:42	we will also handle negative numbers using a nested-if.
01:46	So inside the main method type
01:49	int n = minus 5;
01:54	We have created a variable n to store the negative number.
01:58	Now we shall write the if conditions.
02:01	Next line Type
02:02	if (n < 0)
02:07	open curly bracket. Press enter
02:10	System.out.println Within brackets and double quotes (“Negative number”);
02:22	We first see if the number is a negative number.
02:25	If yes then we will not check for even and odd.
02:29	if the number is not a negative, we check for even and odd.
02:34	Next line Type else { } Press enter
02:42	Now if the execution has come to the else part.
02:45	It means that the number is non negative.
02:48	So we check for odd or even inside this else part.
02:52	Type
02:53	if (n modules 2 double equal to 0) { Press enter
03:03	System.out.println(“Even number”); } else { press enter Type System.out.println(“Odd number”); }
03:29	So we make sure that negative numbers are not considered for odd or even check.
03:34	Now let us see the code in action.
03:37	Save and run the file.As we can see, we get the output as“negative number”.
03:43	now Let us try a positive number
03:46	Change n = -5 to n = 5
03:53	NowSave and Run the file
03:57	As we can see, the output is odd number as expected. Let us try an even number
04:04	Change n = 5 to n = 10.
04:09	Now Save and run the file
04:12	As we can see, the output is “even” number as expected.
04:17	This process of including an if statement inside another, is called nested-if.
04:22	There is no limit to the amount of nesting.
04:25	But it is a good practice to not go beyond 3 levels of nesting.
04:31	Now we shall look at the ternary operator.
04:33	First let me clean up the Main method.
04:37	We shall write a program that divides a number by 2.
04:40	It is a very trivial program but the issue comes in dividing odd numbers.
04:45	When 7 is divided by 2, we get 3.
04:48	But what if we want the result to be rounded off.
04:50	Which means, when 7 is divided by 2, we get 4 and not 3
04:56	In simple terms, we need the next number.
04:59	Let us see how to write such a program.
05:01	See inside the main method Type int n, nHalf ;
05:08	We will store the number in n and the half number in nHalf
05:13	NExt line Type n = 5;
05:18	NExt line Type if (n % 2 == 0) { Press enter
05:28	Type nHalf = n / 2; } else { nHalf = (n + 1) / 2; }
05:50	We check if the number is even or odd and do the division accordingly.
05:55	Now Let us add a print statement to see the program in action.
05:59	So Type System.out.println(nHalf);
06:11	Now Save and Run the file
06:14	As we can see, our objective is met. We get the output as 3 and not 2
06:21	But if we notice, all we are doing is, setting the value of a variable depending on a condition.
06:27	There is more syntax than logic in our program.
06:31	This is when ternary operator makes code simpler.
06:35	Ternary Operator is a conditional operator providing results similar to nested-if.
06:40	It Provides a short syntax and is denoted by a question mark.
06:45	It Takes three operands at a time.
06:48	Let us learn about the syntax of Ternary Operator.
06:53	The expression is the condition that has to be checked.
06:56	Operand 1 is the value of the variable Result if the condition is true.
07:03	Operand 2 is the value if the condition is false.
07:09	Now Let us use it in our program.
07:12	First let us remove the if-else statement.
07:17	Type nHalf = n % 2 == 0 ? n / 2 : (n + 1) / 2 semi-colon
07:41	This statement reads,
07:43	if n is even, nHalf is n by 2 ,Otherwise, it is n plus 1 by 2.
07:50	Let us now see it in action.
07:52	Save and Runthe file. Press Ctrl S and Ctrl F11 keys
07:59	As we can see, the output is as expected.
08:02	This way, ternary operator reduces clutter in the code and improves readability.
08:09	We have come to the end of this tutorial.
08:11	In this tutorial we have learnt:
08:13	* About Nested-If Statements and Ternary Operator
08:15	* Usage of Nested-If Statements and Ternary Operator in a Java program
08:22	Now take an assignment on
08 :23	Nested-If and Ternary operator. Write java program for the following.
08:28	* Check whether a number is even and also a multiple of 11 using nested-if.
08:34	* Identify the largest number among the two given numbers using Ternary operator.
