Java uses the dominant imperative control flow paradigm.
Tutorial Details:
Java uses the dominant imperative control flow paradigm. Other paradigms are declarative programming and data flow.
Structured Programming control flow primitives within a method:
Sequence - execute one statment after another.
Choice - execute only one several statements depending on a condition (if and switch statements).
Repetition - execute some statements repetitively (while, for, do...while).
Actual programming languages typically add more.
Exceptions (throw, try...catch).
Ways to exit or continue early (break, return, continue).
The dreaded goto statement is not popular.
Smokescreen Introduction
Smokescreen is a Java obfuscator. Aside from being able to change symbolic names, it can also modify the bytecode instructions in methods thereby obfuscating control flow. This makes the resulting obfuscated classes much more difficult to decompile.
Smokescreen 3.4 has been released
