Conditional And Unconditional Branching Statements In C
What are the Conditional And Unconditional Branching Statements In C?
Conditional Branching: if Statement
Simple if/if Statement: It is a two-way decision statement. Depending on whether the value of the expression is ‘true‘ or ‘false‘, it transfers the control to a particular statement.
Syntax :
if(test_expression)
{
true-block statements;
}Write a program to accept any number, and find out, whether it is negative or positive If it is negative then make it positive and print it.
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int n;
printf("\n Enter any number ");
scanf("%d",&n);
if(n<0)
{
n= -n;
}
printf("\n Number = %d",n);
}
Output 1 :
Enter any number 5 Number = 5Output 2 : Enter any number -7 Number = 7
Conditional Branching: if…else Statement
This statement allows selecting one of the two available options depending upon the output of the test expression.
Syntax :
if(test_expression)
{
true-block statements;
}
else
{
false-block statements;
}statement - x;
Write a program to accept any number and find out whether it is even or odd.
/* Program to find out whether number is even or odd */
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int n;
printf("\n Enter any number : ");
scanf("%d",&n);
if(n%2==0)
printf("\n The %d is Even ",n);
else
printf("\n The %d is Odd ",n);
}
Output 1 :
Enter any number : 6 The 6 is EvenOutput 2 :
Enter any number : 3 The 3 is Odd
Conditional Branching: Nested if…else Statements
This statement is simply an if statement embedded with an if statement. This allows us to perform multiple actions in a single instruction.
Syntax :
if(test_expression1)
{
if(test_expression2)
{
stmt -1;
}
else
{
stmt -2;
}
}
else
{
stmt -3;
}
stmt -n;Write a program to find the largest number out of four numbers.
//Program to find out greatest out of numbers
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int i,j,k,l;
printf("\n Enter any 4 numbers : ");
scanf("%d %d %d %d",&i,&j,&k,&l);
if(i>j)
{
if(i>k)
{
if(i>l)
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",i);
else
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",l);
}
else
{
if(k>l)
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",k);
else
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",l);
}
}
else
{
if(j>k)
{
if(j>l)
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",j);
else
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",l);
}
else
{
if(k>l)
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",k);
else
printf("\n Max. Number = %d ",l);
}
}
}
Output 1 :
Enter any 4 numbers : 1 0 1 3 Max. Number = 3Output 2 :
Enter any 4 numbers : 10 25 61 20 Max. Number = 61Output 3 :
Enter any 4 numbers : 100 150 60 200 Max. Number = 200

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{ int m1,m2,m3,m4,m5,T;

Conditional Branching: Switch Statement
Switch Statement: We use if-else-if statements to choose one of the many alternatives. But as the number of alternatives increases, the complexity of such a program also increases. Thus, to make it simpler. C has a multi-way decision statement known as a switch.
A case expression can be repeatedly used in a switch statement. That is it allows several alternate courses of action and chooses one to be executed at runtime.
The use of a break statement in every case is used to quite the switch statement after a particular case is matched. Thus only one case gets executed. If the break statement is not used, then all the statements following the matched case will get executed. Thus break statement is compulsory for the proper execution of the switch statement.
Syntax :
switch(expression)
{
case value1:
statement1; //value1 is a constant and is known as case label
break;
case value2: //case labels end with a colon(:)
statement2;
break;
default: //Optional
default-statement;
break;
}
statement-n;
Write a program to accept the month numbers and display the season.
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int m;
printf("Enter the month number\n");
scanf("%d",&m);
switch(m)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
printf("Summer is around the corner");
break;
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
printf("Spring is around the corner");
break;
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
printf("Autumn is around the corner");
break;
case 10:
case 11:
case 12:
printf("Winter is around the corner");
default :
break;
}
}
Output :
Enter the month number
