In Dart, conditional statements and logical operators are used to execute code based on certain conditions.

Conditional Statements

Conditional statements allow you to execute a block of code only if a specified condition is true. Dart has two types of conditional statements: if-else and switch-case.

If-else Statement

The if-else statement is used to execute a block of code if a certain condition is true, and another block of code if the condition is false. The basic syntax of the if-else statement is as follows:

if (condition) {
  // code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
  // code to be executed if the condition is false
}

For example, the following code will print “Positive” if the variable x is positive, and “Negative” if ‘ x‘ is negative:

void main() {
  int x = 10;
  if (x > 0) {
    print("Positive");
  } else {
    print("Negative");
  }
}

Switch-case Statement

The switch-case statement is used to execute a block of code based on multiple conditions. The basic syntax of the switch-case statement is as follows:

switch (expression) {
  case value1:
    // code to be executed if expression == value1
    break;
  case value2:
    // code to be executed if expression == value2
    break;
  ...
  default:
    // code to be executed if no case matches the expression
    break;
}

For example, the following code will print “Monday” if the variable day is 1, “Tuesday” if day is 2, and so on:

void main() {
  int day = 1;
  switch (day) {
    case 1:
      print("Monday");
      break;
    case 2:
      print("Tuesday");
      break;
    case 3:
      print("Wednesday");
      break;
    ...
    default:
      print("Invalid day");
      break;
  }
}

Logical Operators

Dart supports the following logical operators:

&& (and) – returns true if both operands are true, false otherwise.

bool result = true && true;  // result = true

|| (or) – returns true if at least one operand is true, false otherwise.

bool result = !false;  // result = true

! (not) – returns the negation of a boolean expression.

bool result = !false;  // result = true

Note that in Dart, non-boolean values can be used in logical expressions, but they will be implicitly converted to booleans using the following rules:

  • null is equivalent to false
  • Other values (e.g. 0, '') are equivalent to true
bool result = '' && false;  // result = false

Examples:

Checking user input
String username = 'admin';
String password = 'password';

if (username == 'admin' && password == 'password') {
  print('Access granted');
} else {
  print('Access denied');
}
Making a decision based on multiple conditions
String status = 'approved';
int score = 80;

if (status == 'approved' || score >= 90) {
  print('Eligible for a bonus');
} else {
  print('Not eligible for a bonus');
}
