Tutorial 04 – Writing if condition

1) What is wrong with the following if statement (there are at least 3 errors). The
Indentation indicates the desired behavior.
if numNeighbors >= 3 || numNeighbors = 4
++numNeighbors;
printf("You are dead! \n " );
else
--numNeighbors;

I. The condition `numNeighbors = 4` should be `numNeighbors == 4` to check for


equality.
II. The increment operator `++numNeighbors` and the decrement operator `--
numNeighbors` should be enclosed in curly braces `{}` to define the scope of the if
and else blocks.
III. The `printf` statement should also be enclosed in curly braces `{}` to be part of the if
block.
Here's the corrected version of the if statement:

if (numNeighbors >= 3 || numNeighbors == 4) {


++numNeighbors;
printf("You are dead! \n");
} else {
--numNeighbors;
}

2) Describe the output produced by this poorly indented program segment:


int number = 4;
double alpha = -1.0;
if (number > 0)
if (alpha > 0)
printf("Here I am! \n" );
else
printf("No, I’m here! \n");
printf(“No, actually, I’m here! \n");

“No, actually, I’m here!”

3) Consider the following if statement, where doesSignificantWork,


makesBreakthrough, and nobelPrizeCandidate are all boolean variables:

if (doesSignificantWork) {
if (makesBreakthrough)
nobelPrizeCandidate = true;
else
nobelPrizeCandidate = false;
}
else if (!doesSignificantWork)
nobelPrizeCandidate = false;

In the given if statement, the value of the boolean variable `nobelPrizeCandidate` is


determined based on the values of `doesSignificantWork` and `makesBreakthrough`. Here's
how it works:
- If `doesSignificantWork` is true:
- If `makesBreakthrough` is true, then `nobelPrizeCandidate` is set to true.
- If `makesBreakthrough` is false, then `nobelPrizeCandidate` is set to false.
- If `doesSignificantWork` is false, then `nobelPrizeCandidate` is always set to false.
So, the value of `nobelPrizeCandidate` depends on whether significant work is done and
whether a breakthrough is made. If significant work is done and a breakthrough is made, the
variable will be true. Otherwise, it will be false.
4) Write if statements to do the following:

1. If character variable taxCode is ’T’, increase price by adding the taxRate percentage
of price to it.
if (taxCode == 'T') { price += (taxRate / 100) * price;
}

2. If integer variable opCode has the value 1, read in double values for X and Y and
calculate and print their sum.
if (opCode == 1) {
double X, Y;
printf("Enter value for X: ");
scanf("%lf", &X);
printf("Enter value for Y: ");
scanf("%lf", &Y);
double sum = X + Y;
printf("The sum of X and Y is: %.2lf\n", sum);
}

3. If integer variable currentNumber is odd, change its value so that it is now 3 times
currentNumber plus 1, otherwise change its value so that it is now half of
currentNumber (rounded down when currentNumber is odd).
if (currentNumber % 2 != 0) {
currentNumber = (3 * currentNumber) + 1;
} else {
currentNumber = currentNumber / 2;
}
4. Assign true to the boolean variable leapYear if the integer variable year is a leap
year. (A leap year is a multiple of 4, and if it is a multiple of 100, it must also be a
multiple of 400.)
if (year % 4 == 0 && (year % 100 != 0 || year % 400 == 0)) {
leapYear = 1;
} else {
leapYear = 0;
}

5. Assign a value to double variable cost depending on the value of integer variable
distance as follows:
if (distance <= 100) {
cost = 5.00;
} else if (distance <= 500) {
cost = 8.00;
} else if (distance < 1000) {
cost = 10.00;
} else {
cost = 12.00;
}

Distance Cost
----------------------------------- ----------
0 through 100 5.00
More than 100 but not more than 500 8.00
More than 500 but less than 1,000 10.00
1,000 or more 12.00
