What you'll learn

Operators such as “=” or “++” or if-else statements and loops are ubiquitous in any Java program. However, there are constructs that are used infrequently, and the more common ones may produce unexpected results (bugs) if one uses them improperly. In this course, Using Operators, Decision, and Looping Constructs (Java SE 8 Programmer I Certification 1Z0-808), you will learn the tips, tricks, and pitfalls of using Java operators and statements. First, you’ll explore the Java operators. Only some are required for the exam, but even those required are worth taking a closer look at to see what some of them do behind the scenes. Then, you’ll discover how simple omissions in branching and looping statements may completely change the program flow. Finally, you will take a deep dive into more advanced concepts of flow control and the small details that make all the difference. When you're finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Java operators and statements necessary to nail any exam question related to the topic.
