C Programming if, if..else and Nested if...else Statement

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded">The if, if...else and nested if...else statement are used to make one-time decisions in C Programming, that is, to execute some code/s and ignore some code/s depending upon the test expression. <h2>C if Statement</h2><pre title="Syntax of if statement in C Programming Language">if (test expression) { statement/s to be executed if test expression is true; }</pre>The <code>if</code> statement checks whether the text expression inside parenthesis ( ) is true or not. If the test expression is true, statement/s inside the body of if statement is executed but if test is false, statement/s inside body of <code>if</code> is ignored. <h3>Flowchart of if statement</h3><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Branching in C programming language using if statement" class="figure" src="http://s19.postimg.org/e2l9ru2tv/flowchart_if_programming_0.jpg" title="C if statement" /><a name="more"></a> </div><h3>Example 1: C if statement</h3>Write a C program to print the number entered by user only if the number entered is negative. <pre class="prettyprint" title="Source code of is statement in C."><code> #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int num; printf("Enter a number to check.\n"); scanf("%d",&num); if(num<0) { /* checking whether number is less than 0 or not. */ printf("Number = %d\n",num); } /*If test condition is true, statement above will be executed, otherwise it will not be executed */ printf("The if statement in C programming is easy."); return 0; }</code></pre>Output 1 <pre><samp>Enter a number to check. -2 Number = -2 The if statement in C programming is easy.</samp></pre>When user enters -2 then, the test expression <code>(num<0)</code> becomes true. Hence, <code>Number = -2</code> is displayed in the screen. Output 2 <pre><samp>Enter a number to check. 5 The if statement in C programming is easy.</samp></pre>When the user enters 5 then, the test expression <code>(num<0)</code> becomes false. So, the statement/s inside body of <code>if</code> is skipped and only the statement below it is executed. <h2>C if...else statement</h2>The <code>if...else</code> statement is used if the programmer wants to execute some statement/s when the test expression is true and execute some other statement/s if the test expression is false. <h3>Syntax of if...else</h3><pre>if (test expression) { statements to be executed if test expression is true; } else { statements to be executed if test expression is false; }</pre><h3>Flowchart of if...else statement</h3><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Flowchart of if...else statement in C Programming" class="figure" src="http://s19.postimg.org/70nc5mz83/flowchart_if_else_programming.jpg" title="C if...else statement" /></div><h3>Example 2: C if...else statement</h3>Write a C program to check whether a number entered by user is even or odd <pre class="prettyprint" title="Example of if...else statement in C Programming"><code>#include <stdio.h> int main(){ int num; printf("Enter a number you want to check.\n"); scanf("%d",&num); if((num%2)==0) //checking whether remainder is 0 or not. printf("%d is even.",num); else printf("%d is odd.",num); return 0; }</code></pre>Output 1 <pre><samp>Enter a number you want to check. 25 25 is odd.</samp></pre>Output 2 <pre><samp>Enter a number you want to check. 2 2 is even.</samp></pre><h2>Nested if...else statement (if...elseif....else Statement)</h2>The nested <code>if...else</code> statement is used when program requires more than one test expression. <h3>Syntax of nested if...else statement.</h3><pre title="Syntax of nested if...else statement">if (test expression1){ statement/s to be executed if test expression1 is true; } else if(test expression2) { statement/s to be executed if test expression1 is false and 2 is true; } else if (test expression 3) { statement/s to be executed if text expression1 and 2 are false and 3 is true; } . . . else { statements to be executed if all test expressions are false; } </pre>How nested if...else works? The nested <code>if...else</code> statement has more than one test expression. If the first test expression is true, it executes the code inside the braces{ } just below it. But if the first test expression is false, it checks the second test expression. If the second test expression is true, it executes the statement/s inside the braces{ } just below it. This process continues. If all the test expression are false, code/s inside <code>else</code> is executed and the control of program jumps below the <code>nested if...else</code> The ANSI standard specifies that 15 levels of nesting may be continued. <h3>Example 3: C nested if else statement</h3>Write a C program to relate two integers entered by user using = or > or < sign. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>#include <stdio.h> int main(){ int numb1, numb2; printf("Enter two integers to check".\n); scanf("%d %d",&numb1,&numb2); if(numb1==numb2) //checking whether two integers are equal. printf("Result: %d = %d",numb1,numb2); else if(numb1>numb2) //checking whether numb1 is greater than numb2. printf("Result: %d > %d",numb1,numb2); else printf("Result: %d > %d",numb2,numb1); return 0; } </code></pre>Output 1 <pre><samp>Enter two integers to check. 5 3 Result: 5 > 3 </samp></pre>Output 2 <pre><samp>Enter two integers to check. -4 -4 Result: -4 = -4 </samp></pre><h3>More Examples on if...else Statement</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.programiz.com/c-programming/examples/vowel-consonant">Check whether an alphabet is vowel or consonant</a></li><li><a href="http://www.programiz.com/c-programming/examples/largest-number-three">Program to find largest number among three numbers</a></li><li><a href="http://www.programiz.com/c-programming/examples/quadratic-roots">Program to Compute roots of quadratic equation</a></li><li><a href="http://www.programiz.com/c-programming/examples/leap-year">Program to Check Leap Year</a></li></ul></div> </div>

For example: <var>+</var> is a operator to perform addition.C programming language has wide range of operators to perform various operations. For better understanding of operators, these operators can be classified as:<table style="width: 500px; " summary="Types of operators in C programming Language." cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1"><tbody><tr><th>Operators in C programming</th></tr><tr><td><a href="#arithmetic">Arithmetic Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#increment">Increment and Decrement Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#assignment">Assignment Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#relational">Relational Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#logical">Logical Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#conditional">Conditional Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#bitwise">Bitwise Operators</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#other">Special Operators</a></td></tr></tbody></table><h3><a name="arithmetic"></a>Arithmetic Operators</h3><table style="width: 500px; " summary="List of all arithmetic operators in C programming." cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Operator</th><th scope="col">Meaning of Operator</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>+</td><td>addition or unary plus</td></tr><tr><td>-</td><td>subtraction or  unary minus</td></tr><tr><td>*</td><td>multiplication</td></tr><tr><td>/</td><td>division</td></tr><tr><td>%</td><td>remainder after division( modulo division)</td></tr></tbody></table><a name="more"></a>Example of working of arithmetic operators<pre class="prettyprint"><code> /* Program to demonstrate the working of arithmetic operators in C. */ #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int a=9,b=4,c; c=a+b; printf("a+b=%d\n",c); c=a-b; printf("a-b=%d\n",c); c=a*b; printf("a*b=%d\n",c); c=a/b; printf("a/b=%d\n",c); c=a%b; printf("Remainder when a divided by b=%d\n",c); return 0; } }</code></pre><pre><samp>a+b=13 a-b=5 a*b=36 a/b=2 Remainder when a divided by b=1</samp></pre>ExplanationHere, the operators +, - and * performed normally as you expected. In normal calculation, <code>9/4</code> equals to 2.25. But, the output is 2 in this program. It is because, a and b are both integers. So, the output is also integer and the compiler neglects the term after decimal point and shows answer 2 instead of 2.25. And, finally <code>a%b</code> is 1,i.e. ,when <code>a=9</code> is divided by <code>b=4</code>, remainder is 1.<pre>Suppose a=5.0, b=2.0, c=5 and d=2 In C programming, a/b=2.5 a/d=2.5 c/b=2.5 c/d=2 </pre>Note: % operator can only be used with integers.<h3><a name="increment"></a>Increment and decrement operators</h3>In C, <code>++</code> and <code>--</code> are called increment and decrement operators respectively. Both of these operators are unary operators, i.e, used on single operand. <code>++</code> adds 1 to operand and <code>--</code> subtracts 1 to operand respectively. For example:<pre>Let a=5 and b=10 a++; //a becomes 6 a--; //a becomes 5 ++a; //a becomes 6 --a; //a becomes 5 </pre><a href="zen-tek.blogspot.in/2014/02/difference-in-increment-operator-as.html" target="_blank" title="increment and decrement operator detail">Difference between ++ and -- operator as postfix and prefix</a>When <code>i++</code> is used as prefix(like: <code>++var</code>), <code>++var</code> will increment the value of <var>var</var> and then return it but, if <code>++</code> is used as postfix(like: var++), operator will return the value of operand first and then only increment it. This can be demonstrated by an example:<pre class="prettyprint"><code> #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int c=2,d=2; printf("%d\n",c++); //this statement displays 2 then, only c incremented by 1 to 3. printf("%d",++c); //this statement increments 1 to c then, only c is displayed. return 0; } </code> </pre>Output<pre><samp>2 4 </samp></pre><h3><a name="assignment"></a>Assignment Operators</h3>The most common assignment operator is <code>=</code>. This operator assigns the value in right side to the left side. For example:<pre>var=5 //5 is assigned to var a=c; //value of c is assigned to a 5=c; // Error! 5 is a constant. </pre><table style="width: 500px; " summary="List of all assignment operators in C programming" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Operator</th><th scope="col">Example</th><th scope="col">Same as</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>=</td><td>a=b</td><td>a=b</td></tr><tr><td>+=</td><td>a+=b</td><td>a=a+b</td></tr><tr><td>-=</td><td>a-=b</td><td>a=a-b</td></tr><tr><td>*=</td><td>a*=b</td><td>a=a*b</td></tr><tr><td>/=</td><td>a/=b</td><td>a=a/b</td></tr><tr><td>%=</td><td>a%=b</td><td>a=a%b</td></tr></tbody></table><h3><a name="relational"></a>Relational Operator</h3>Relational operators checks relationship between two operands.
