Prog0101 CH06

This document discusses branching statements in programming. It covers the IF statement, which allows a program to execute different code based on a condition being true or false. The IF statement can take the form of a simple IF statement or an IF-ELSE statement. The document also discusses the SWITCH statement, which allows executing different code based on the value of an expression and matches it to case values. Examples are provided to illustrate IF and SWITCH statements.

Branching Statement
• A program consists of a number of statements which
are usually executed in sequence.
• Programs can be much more powerful if we can
control the order in which statements are run.
• The Branching Statements or Control Statements let
the program makes a decision about what to do next.

IF Statement
• The IF Statement is a powerful decision making
statement and is used to control the flow of execution
of statements.
• It is basically a two-way decision statement and is
used in conjunction with an expression.

IF Statement
• It allows the computer to evaluate the expression first
and then, depending on whether the value of the
expression (relation or condition) is ' true ' (non-zero)
or ' false ' (zero), it transfers the control to a particular
statement.
• This point of program has two paths to follow, one for
the true condition and the other for the false
condition.
• The if statement may be implemented in different
forms depending on the complexity of the conditions
to be tested.

IF Statement
• Two types of IF Statement:
– Simple IF Statement
– IF-ELSE Statement

Simple IF Statement
• The statement-block may be a single statement or a
group of statements.
• If the test expression is true, the statement-block will
be executed; otherwise the statement-block will be
skipped and the execution will jump to statement-x.
• Remember, when the condition is true both the
statement-block and the statement-x are executed in
sequence.

IF-ELSE Statement
• The if....else statement is an extension of the simple
if statement.
• If the test expression is true , then the true-block
statement(s), immediately following the if statement
are executed; otherwise the false-block statement(s)
are executed.
• In either case, either true-block or false-block will be
executed, not both.

Example 1
The flow chart shows a
program which ask a
user to enter a number,
and then compare the
number given either it is
bigger or smaller than
5.

Example 2
The flow chart shows a program to check whether the
student “Passed” or “Failed”.

SWITCH Statement
• In computer programming, a Switch Statement (also
known as Case Statement) is a type of control
statement that exists in most modern imperative
programming languages.
• This is another form of the multi way decision.
• A switch statement is a selection statement that lets
you transfer control to different statements within the
switch body depending on the value of the switch
expression.

13

SWITCH Statement
• If the value of the switch expression equals the value
of one of the case expressions, the statements
following that case expression are processed.
• If not, the default label statements, if any, are
processed.
