The if statement syntax

The if statement is a conditional branch statement. The syntax of the if statement is either one of these two: if (booleanExpression) {     statement (s) } or if (booleanExpression) {     statement (s) } else {     statement (s) } For example, in the following if statement, the if block will be executed if x is greater than 4. public class MainClass {   public static void main(String[] args) {     int x = 9;     if (x > 4) {       // statements     }   } } In the following example, the if block will be executed if a is greater than 3. Otherwise, the else block will be executed. public class MainClass {   public static void main(String[] args) {     int a = 3;     if (a > 3) {       // statements     } else {       // statements     }   } }
