This series of videos is suitable for programmers with minimal (or no) programming experience who want to learn Java. This is the sixteenth video in the Introductory Java series, and the seventh video in lesson 3 (branching). In this video we're going to look at how to handle mutually exclusive conditions with both serial if statements and switch statements, and we'll look at the ternary or conditional operator.

There is a suggested (free) book below that you could read along with the videos lessons. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other introductory Java textbook. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!
