DJM20032 C PROGRAMMING

PRACTICAL TASK : PT 3
TITLE : CONTROL STATEMENT (SELECTION STATEMENT)

1.0 Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

i. Use selection statements (if, if..else, nested if, switch..case)

2.0 Introduction

Control statements control the flow of execution of the statements of a program. The
various types of control statements in C language are as under: -
a. Sequential
b. Conditional
c. Iteration

In conditional control, the execution of statements depends upon the condition-test. If the
condition evaluates to true, then a set of statements is executed otherwise another set of
statements is followed. This control is also called Decision Control because it helps in
making decision about which set of statements is to be executed. Decision control
structure in C can be implemented by using: -
a. If statement
b. If-else statement
c. Nested if else statement
d. else-if ladder
e. case control structure
f. conditional operator

3.0 Apparatus

a) Computer
3.1.1 Software Code- Block

4.0 Procedures

4.1 Understand the task below and answer all the question:

Task 1

Create a program that can add HPNM value if the HPNM> = 3.7, the output will display
"Excellent, keep it up" and if otherwise the output will display "you have to try again"

Task 2

Write a C program to input marks of five subjects mathematic, Bahasa Melayu, English
language, Thermodynamic and Science Computer, calculate percentage and grade
according to given conditions:
If percentage >= 90% : Grade A
If percentage >= 80% : Grade B
If percentage >= 70% : Grade C
If percentage >= 60% : Grade D
If percentage >= 40% : Grade E
If percentage < 40% : Grade F

Task 3

Write a C program to create menu driven calculator that performs basic arithmetic
operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) using switch case and functions. The
calculator should input two numbers and an operator from user. It should perform
operation according to the operator entered and must take input in given format.

Task 4

Write a program according to the flowchart

5.0 Results/Data
State the Source code and paste the output for Task 1, Task 2, Task 3 and Task 4 on the
section of result and data.

C Code Output

6.0 Discussion

A) “if… else… if” and “switch …case” both programming constructs has ability to take
decision based on conditions. Both are almost similar in nature. However, there is
always a debate among beginners which to use and when to use what?? Explain your
understanding when is suitable to use “if… else… if” and “switch …case”?

7.0 Conclusion and Recommendation

Deduce a conclusion from your observation.
