The If... Else If... Else Statement

The if-else statement allows checking multiple conditions using a single statement. It can have zero or one else blocks and zero or more else if blocks. The else if blocks must come before the else block. Once an else if condition is true, remaining else if and else blocks are skipped. The syntax allows chaining if, else if, and else blocks to check for multiple conditions in order from the first if down to the else.

If-Else Statements:

The if...else if...else Statement:


An if statement can be followed by an optional else if...else statement,
which is very usefull to test various conditions using single if...else if
statement.

When using if , else if , else statements there are few points to keep in
mind.

An if can have zero or one else's and it must come after any else if's.

An if can have zero to many else if's and they must come before the else.

Once an else if succeeds, none of he remaining else if's or else's will be tested.

Syntax:
The syntax of an if...else if...else statement in C++ is:

if(boolean_expression 1)

// Executes when the boolean expression 1 is true

else if( boolean_expression 2)

// Executes when the boolean expression 2 is true

else if( boolean_expression 3)

// Executes when the boolean expression 3 is true

else

// executes when the none of the above condition is true.

}
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()

// local variable declaration:

int a = 100;

// check the boolean condition

if( a < 20 )

// if condition is true then print the following

cout << "a is less than 20;" << endl;

else

// if condition is false then print the following

cout << "a is not less than 20;" << endl;

cout << "value of a is : " << a << endl;

return 0;

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()

// local variable declaration:

int a = 100;
// check the boolean condition

if( a == 10 )

// if condition is true then print the following

cout << "Value of a is 10" << endl;

else if( a == 20 )

// if else if condition is true

cout << "Value of a is 20" << endl;

else if( a == 30 )

// if else if condition is true

cout << "Value of a is 30" << endl;

else

// if none of the conditions is true

cout << "Value of a is not matching" << endl;

cout << "Exact value of a is : " << a << endl;

return 0;

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following
result:

Value of a is not matching

Exact value of a is : 100
