Programming

The document outlines different types of if statements, including general if statements, if-else statements, and nested loops. It explains how if statements control the flow of a program based on conditions and compares the advantages and limitations of switch statements versus if-else statements. Additionally, it provides examples and guidance on when to use each type of statement based on the complexity of conditions in programming.

Types of if statement

• General if statement
• If --------- else statement
• Else if chain and nested loop
What is if statement?
The if statement either selects an action, if a condition is
true or skips the action if the condition is false.

“If it is not raining, we will go to school.”


If ( conditional expression) {
statement_1;
statement_2;
statement_3;
}
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){

int a=5, b=10;


if(a<b)
printf("a is less than b \n");

if(a>b)
printf("a is more than b \n");

return 0;
}

Output
a is less than b
It allows you to specify that
If else different actions are to be
statement performed when the condition is
true and when it’s false.

if(expression){

Statement_1;

Input Output

a = 12 You entered an even number


Nested loop?

If we use if else as a compound statement in another if else,


then it is called nested loop.
If (expression_1){
If(expression_2)
statement_1;
else
Nested statement_2;
Loop }
else {
if(expression_3)
statement_x;
}
Else if chain

If (expression)
Statement_1;
else if (expression)
statement_2;
else if (expression)
statement_2;

else if (expression)
statement_2;

statement_x;
A switch statement is a type of selection control
Switch mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or
expression to change the control flow of program
statement execution via a multiway branch.

Limitations of switch over if-else ladder

1.The variable expression are also not allowed


in cases, “case i+2:” is not allowed in switch,
but it is valid on if-else.

2.You cannot test a flat expression using switch.

3.You cannot use similar expressions for


multiple cases.

4.Switch statement must know the value inside


it during compilation.
Advantages of switch over if-else ladder

1.A switch statement works much faster than equivalent if-else


ladder.

2.It is more readable and in compare to if-else statements.

3.It is more manageable for having higher level of indentation than if.

4. Here multiple statements need not to be enclosed within a pair of


braces.
Where to use 1.If there are large number of
switch over if- compares for a condition in your
program, use switch over if-else
else ladder
ladder.
2.For more complex comparisons.
}
In case of simple and few
compares, if-else executes faster
Where to use if- and easy write. Thus as per
else ladder over program’s requirement, a
switch programmer should decide
himself where to use which one
condition control.
