Selection, if, else, Relational Operators,Nested Selection,else if, Logical Operators

The if Keyword

 

a == b	means does a equal b?
a != b	means does a not equal b?
a > b	means is a greater than b?
a >= b	means is a greater than or equal to b?
a < b	means is a less than b?
a <= b	means is a less than or equal to b?

Notice:

==means “check for equality” (are two things equal? yes or no...)versus...

=means “assignment”(evaluate the right hand side and save it into the variable on the left...)

 

 

 

The else Keyword

Order of Operations

 

Precedence Table

Comparing C-Strings

 

To compare blocks of text, use string.hand strcmp

 

Comparing chars

 

Remember, there is a difference between a single’’ character, and a block”” of text...

Char Literals: Single quotes: ' '

String Literals: Double quotes: " "

Nested if

 

If (….)

{……}

 

else

{

       If (….)

       {….}

       else

       {…..}

}

 

Notice : always use {} with the if and else

 

 

If… else if…else

 

Only one of option will be performance.

 

 

Comparison symbol :

 

And &&

Or ||

Not !

 

Example:

If ((a  > 0) && (a <10)) // a must be greater than 0 and smeller than 10

 

If( (a <= 0) || (number >= 10)) a could be smeller than 0 or greater than 10

 

If (!(a > 0)) a must be smeller than 0

 

Notice:

 

Do not use : 10 < x < 100

 

Only use : 10 < x && x <100 (compile performance one logical decision by one time)

 

And bracketing every single relational expression which can be helpful to identify.
