# If
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The if statement executes different blocks of code based on conditions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
if (condition) {
|
||
|
|
// Do something when `condition` is true
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
else {
|
||
|
|
// Do something when `condition` is false
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When `condition` is true, code inside the `if` section executes, otherwise `else` executes. Sometimes you would need to add a second condition. For readability, you should use a `else if` rather than nesting `if` statements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
if (condition) {
|
||
|
|
// Do something if `condition` is true
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
else if (anotherCondition) {
|
||
|
|
// Do something if `anotherCondition` is ture
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
else {
|
||
|
|
// Do something if `condition` AND `anotherCondition` is false
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the `else` and `else if` sections are not required, while `if` is mandatory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int main () {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Local variable definition
|
||
|
|
int a = 10;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Check the boolean condition
|
||
|
|
if(a < 5) {
|
||
|
|
// If condition is true then print the following
|
||
|
|
printf("a is less than 5!\n" );
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
else {
|
||
|
|
// If condition is false then print the following
|
||
|
|
printf("a is not less than 5!\n" );
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
printf("Value of a is : %d\n", a);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return 0;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Output
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
-> a is not less than 5!
|
||
|
|
-> Value of a is : 100
|
||
|
|
```
