Name and describe three types of branching mechanisms and give an example of each.

Three types of branching mechanisms include the if-else statement,the multi-way if-else statement,and the switch statement.An if-else statement chooses between two alternative statements based on the value of a Boolean expression.If you only need to perform an action if a certain condition is true,then the else part of an if-else statement can be omitted.A multi-way if-else statement allows several conditions to be evaluated.The first condition that evaluates to true,is the branch that is executed.The switch statement is another multi-selection branching mechanism.A switch evaluates a controlling expression and executes the statements in the matching case label.
If - else example: if taxableIncome > 30000)
taxRate = .135;
else
taxRate = .075;
Multi-way if-else example:
IftaxableIncome < 10000)
taxRate = .0425;
else iftaxableIncome < 30000)
taxRate = .075;
else
taxRate = .135;
Switch example: char myChar = 'b';
switchmyChar)
{
case 'a':
System.out.println"It is an A");
break;
case 'b':
System.out.println"It is a B");
break;
case default:
System.out.println"Default case");
break;
}
