🔥 Day 3: Control Flow, Methods & Arrays in Java! 🔥

Today’s session was packed with key Java fundamentals that are crucial for writing modular and efficient Selenium automation scripts! 🚀

🔹 What I Learned Today:

✅ If-Else Statements – Making decisions 🤔

✅ Loops (For, While, Do-While) – Automating repetitive tasks 🔄

✅ Switch Case – Handling multiple conditions efficiently 🎯

✅ Break & Continue – Controlling loop execution 🚀

✅ Methods (Functions) in Java – Reusability & Modularity ⚡

✅ Method Overloading – Multiple methods with the same name but different parameters

✅ Arrays in Java – One-Dimensional & Two-Dimensional 🔢

📌 Step 1: If-Else Statements (Decision Making)

Java executes code based on conditions using if-else.

📌 Example:

🔹 Use Cases: Login validation, eligibility checks, test assertions in Selenium ✅

📌 Step 2: Loops (For, While, Do-While) – Automating Repetitive Tasks

Loops automate repetitive tasks without writing duplicate code!

🔸 For Loop (Fixed Iterations)

🔸 While Loop (Run Until Condition is False)

🔸 Do-While Loop (Runs At Least Once)

🔹 Use Cases: Web scraping, retry mechanisms in Selenium automation 🔄

📌 Step 3: Switch Case – Handling Multiple Conditions

Instead of multiple if-else statements, we use switch-case for better readability.

📌 Example:

🔹 Use Cases: Dropdown selections, menu-based test automation, handling multiple web elements 🔄

📌 Step 4: Methods (Functions) in Java – Reusability & Modularity

A method (also called a function) is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task.

📌 Example:

🔹 Types of Methods in Java:

✅ Static Methods (can be called without creating an object)

✅ Non-Static Methods (require an object of the class to be used)

📌 Step 5: Method Overloading – Multiple Methods with the Same Name

Method Overloading allows us to define multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.

📌 Example:

🔹 Use Cases: Logging frameworks, data handling, Selenium automation utilities ✅

📌 Step 6: Arrays in Java – One-Dimensional & Two-Dimensional

An array is a collection of elements stored in a single variable.

🔸 One-Dimensional Array

🔸 Two-Dimensional Array

🔹 Use Cases: Storing test data, handling dynamic web elements in Selenium ✅

🔹 Key Takeaways from Day 3

✅ If-Else helps in making decisions

✅ Loops automate repetitive actions

✅ Switch Case is great for handling multiple conditions

✅ Methods (Functions) improve reusability & modularity

✅ Method Overloading allows multiple functions with the same name

✅ Arrays help store multiple values efficiently
