Selective statements are decision making controls for JavaScript which allow for two or more alternative paths. These statements would be “if”, “if/else”, and “switch”. These statements will be executed if the condition is true. Repetitive statements are used to repeat a section of code multiple times as known as looping. These statements would be “for”, “while” and “do-while”. Is the statement true? Then the statement will repeat, if not, then it will stop.
Example of Selective Statement: This statement is telling the program that the number is greater than/equal to 2. Anything less than would fail.
int=2;
if (x<1||x>1) {
System.out.printin(“x does not equal 1”);
}else {System.out.printin(“x equals 2”);
Example of Repetitive Statement: This statement is telling the program to begin at 3 and to repeat without going over 12.
Int a=3;
while (a <= 12) {
System.out.printin(a);
a++
