Decision Making Statements
For BCA 1st Year Students
Introduction • Decision-making statements allow programs to take different paths based on conditions. • Commonly used in programming for flow control. Types of Decision-Making Statements • 1. if Statement • 2. if-else Statement • 3. if-else-if Ladder • 4. Nested if • 5. switch Statement if Statement • Syntax: • if (condition) { • // Code to execute if condition is true • } Example: if Statement • if (age > 18) { • printf("You are eligible to vote."); • } if-else Statement • Syntax: • if (condition) { • // Code if condition is true • } else { • // Code if condition is false • } Example: if-else Statement • if (marks >= 50) { • printf("You passed the exam."); • } else { • printf("You failed the exam."); • } if-else-if Ladder • Syntax: • if (condition1) { • // Code for condition1 • } else if (condition2) { • // Code for condition2 • } else { • // Code if none of the conditions are true • } Nested if • Syntax: • if (condition1) { • if (condition2) { • // Code if both conditions are true • } • } switch Statement • Syntax: • switch(expression) { • case value1: • // Code for value1 • break; • case value2: • // Code for value2 • break; • default: Example: switch Statement • switch(day) { • case 1: • printf("Monday"); • break; • case 2: • printf("Tuesday"); • break; • default: • printf("Invalid day"); Importance • 1. Enables dynamic behavior in programs. • 2. Helps in implementing logic based on conditions. • 3. Enhances the interactivity of software. Common Errors and Tips • 1. Missing curly braces for multi-line statements. • 2. Using = instead of == for comparisons. • 3. Always handle default cases in switch statements. Real-World Applications • 1. Validating user inputs in applications. • 2. Implementing game logic. • 3. Dynamic UI adjustments based on user actions. Conclusion • Decision-making statements are fundamental in programming. They allow software to behave intelligently by responding to various conditions.
