Introduction to Condition and switch

In C programming, "conditional" and "switch" are two types of control structures that allow you to make decisions and control the flow of your program based on certain conditions. Let me explain each of them:

1. Conditional Statements:

Conditional statements in C allow you to execute different blocks of code based on whether a certain condition is true or false. The most commonly used conditional statement is the "if-else" statement.

Syntax of if stament

It's used to execute a block of code if a condition is true. For example:

if (condition) {
// Code to be executed if the condition is true
}

Syntax of if-else Statement:

It's used to execute one block of code if a condition is true and another block if it's false. For example:

if (condition) {
// Code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// Code to be executed if the condition is false
}

Syntax of else-if Statement:

It's used to check multiple conditions one by one. The first condition that is true will execute its corresponding block of code. For example:

if (condition1) {
// Code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// Code to be executed if condition2 is true
} else {
// Code to be executed if none of the conditions are true
}

2. Switch Statement:

The switch statement is another way to control program flow based on the value of an expression. It's typically used when you have a single expression that you want to compare to multiple values.

Syntax of Switch Statement

switch (expression) {
case value1:
// Code to be executed if expression equals value1
break;
case value2:
// Code to be executed if expression equals value2
break;
// More cases can be added
default:
// Code to be executed if expression doesn't match any case
}
