Conditional

Statements
Using If and else
• The conditional statements (also known as decision
control structures) such as if, if else, switch, etc. are
used for decision-making purposes in C programs.
• Conditional statements are essential for creating
programs that can make decisions and execute different
code blocks based on specific conditions.
Need for conditional statements
• Decision-Making: Computers need to make decisions
based on different conditions.
• Flexibility: Conditional statements allow programs to
adapt to various input values and situations.
• Control Flow: They control the order in which
instructions are executed.

Conditional Statements using If-else


If-else

Nested if

Else if ladder
Simple if
• Syntax • Explanation
• If the condition evaluates
if (condition) { to true, the code block is
executed.
// block of code
• If false, the program skips
} the block.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x = 10;
// if statement to check if x is greater than 5
if (x > 5) {
printf("x is greater than 5\n");
}
printf(“program ended”);
return 0;
}
if-else
• Syntax • This is to implement two-
way selection
if (condition) {
// block of code if true
} else {
// block of code if false
}
Example
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 3;
// if statement to check if x is greater than 5
if (x > 5) {
printf("x is greater than 5\n");
}
else{
printf("x is less than 5\n");
}
printf("program ended\n");
return 0;
else-if ladder
• Syntax • Else-if ladder is used to
implement multiway selection
if (condition1) {
• Condition 1 is checked first
// code if condition1 is true and if it fails condition 2 is
} else if (condition2) { checked
// code if condition2 is true • Else block will be
implemented when both the
} else { conditions fail
// code if all conditions are • One can extend this for
false checking any number of
} conditions
Example
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int x = 8;
if (x > 10) {
printf("x is greater than 10");
} else if (x > 5) {
printf("x is greater than 5 but less than or equal to 10");
} else {
printf("x is less than or equal to 5");
}
}
Nested-if
• Syntax
if (condition1) {
if (condition2) {
// code if both condition1 and condition2 are true
}
}
else You can place an if statement inside another if block
{ Enabling more complex decision-making.
if (condition 3)
{
//Code to implemented when condition 1 is false but
3 is true
}
}
#include<stdio.h>
Int main(){
int x = 10;
if (x > 5) {
if (x < 15) {
printf("x is between 5 and 15");
}
else{
printf("x is greater than 15");
}
}
else {
if(x>3){
printf("x is between 3 and 5");
}
else{
printf("x is less than 15");
}
}
}
Using Logical operators to reduce
the code
• Instead of using nested if
if (x > 5 && x < 15) {
printf("x is between 5 and 15");
}
However, if the statement is false, we can not guarantee
that x is less than 5.
As x may be less than 5 or greater than 5.
#include<stdio.h>
Int main(){
int x = 10;
if (x > 5 && x<15) {
printf("x is between 5 and 15");
}
else if(x>15){
printf("x is greater than 15");
}
else if(x>3)
{
printf("x is between 3 and 5");
}
else{
printf("x is less than 3");
}
}
