Decision Making and Branching

HK Rana, Dept. of CSE, GUB 29-Oct-21

 Decision making statements are as follows:

 If statement
 Conditional Operator statement
 Switch statement

Depending upon the conditions to be tested if can be:

 Simple if
 if…..else
 Nested if…else
 else…if ladder

 Simple if

if(test condition)
{

statement; true
Condition statement

}
false

 Simple if

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int num;
scanf("%d", &num);
if(num>=0) printf("num is positive");
if(num<0) printf("num is negative");
return 0;
}

 if…..else

if(condition)
{ false
true
Statement 1; Statement 2 Condition Statement 1

}
else
{
Statement 2;
}

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{

scanf("%d", &num);
if(num>=0) printf("num is positive");
else printf("num is negative");
return 0;
}

Nested if…else

if(condition 1)
{
if(condition 2)
{
Statement 1;
}
else
{
Statement 2;
}
}
else
{
Statement 3;
}

Nested if…else
scanf(“%d %d %d”,&a,&b,&c);
if( a>b)
{
if(a>c)
printf(“ a is greater”);
else
printf(“ c is greater”);
}
else
{
if(b>c)
{
Printf(“b is greater”);
}
else
{
Printf(“c is greater”);
}
}

Conditional Operator statement
 Uses ternary operator “?:”
 expression1?expression2:expression3;
 z= (a>b)? a: b;
 Can be used anywhere an expression can be
