What are expressions,statements and blocks in Java?

An expression is a construct made up of variables, operators, and method invocations, which are built-up according to the syntax of the language, that evaluates to a single value.

Some examples of expression:
int val = 0;
iArr[0] = 20;
int var = 4 + 2; // var is now 6

A statement is complete unit of execution.Any expression which is :

• An assignment expression


• ++ or --


• Method invocation


• Object creation

terminated with ';' is a statement.

x = 123.24; // assignment statement
x++; // increment statement
System.out.println("Hello World!"); // method invocation statement
Person person = new Person(); // object creation statement

A block is zero or more statements grouped together with balanced braces.
