Narration
Slide 1 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Conditional statements in C and C++
Slide 2


In this tutorial we will learn how,

To execute a single statement.

To execute group of statements.

We will do this through examples.

We will also see some common errors and their solutions.

Slide 3


To record this tutorial, I am using,

Ubuntu Operating system version 11.10.

gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1

Slide 4 Let us start with the Introduction to conditionalstatements.

A statement in a program controls the flow of program execution.

It helps to make decision on, what code is to be executed.

We can check the conditions, whether true or false.

We can execute a single statement or a group of statements.

Slide 5 Let us understand the flow of if statements.

Here, if the condition is true,then statement1 will be executed.

If the condition is false then statement2 will be executed.

Slide 6 Now we will see the flow of else if statement,

Here, if condition1 is true then statement1 will be executed.

If condition1 is false then it will check for another condition that is condition2.

If condition2 is true, then statement3 will be executed.

If condition2 is false, then statement2 will be executed

Let us switch to the file ifstmt.c


Now Let us move on to our program.

I have already typed the code on the editor.

So let me open it.

Note that our filename is ifstmt.c

In this program we will calculate the sum of two numbers and will check a few conditions.

Highlight

#include <stdio.h>

Let me explain the code now.

This is our header file.

Highlight

int main()

{

This is our main function.
Highlight

int a, b, sum;

Here we have declared three integer variables

a, b and sum.

Highlight

printf("Enter the value of a and b is \n");

scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);

Here we are asking for user input.

User will enter the values of a and b.

The values will be stored in variable a and variable b.

Highlight

scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);

Thescanf() reads data from the console.

It then stores the result in the given variable.

The format specifier in the scanf() helps to know the type of data.

Like here we have %d it denotes that we are dealing with integer data type.

Highlight

sum=a+b;


Here we add the values of a and b.

We will store the result in sum.

Highlight

printf("Sum of a and b is %d\n", c);

Then we print the result.
Highlight

if(sum > 20)

{

printf("Sum is greater than20 \n");

}

This is our if statement.

Here, we check the condition whether sum is greater than 20.

If the condition is true,

then we print Sum is greater than 20.

Type

/*

*/

Now let me comment out these lines.
Highlight

return 0;

This is our return statement.
Now click on Save

First we will see the execution of if statement.

Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously Please open the terminal window by pressing,

Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard.

Type

gcc ifstmt.c -o if

To compile type,

gcc space ifstmt.c space -o space if And Press Enter

Type

./if

To execute type,

./if Press Enter

It is displayed as,

Enter the value of a and b.

I will give the values as 10 and 12.

The output is displayed as

Sum of a and b is 22.

Sum is greater than 20.

Now come back to our program.
We will check another condition.

Let me remove the comment from here.

I will give the comment here.

Now click on Save.

Remove /*


This is our else-if statement.

Here, we check another condition whether Sum is greater than 10.

If the condition is true.

Then we print Sum is greater than 10 and less than 20.

On the terminal Now come back to our terminal.

Let us compile as before.

Let us execute as before.

It is displayed as,

Enter the value of a and b.

I will give the values as 10 and 2.

The output is displayed as:

Sum of a and b is 12.

Sum is greater than 10 and less than 20.

Let me clear the prompt.

Now come back to our program.
Remove /* I will remove the comment from here and here.

Now click on Save.

Highlight

if(c > 20)

{

printf("Sum is greater than20 \n");

}

else if(c > 10)

{

printf("Sum is greater than 10 \n");

}

Highlight

else

{

printf("Sum is less than 10 \n");

}

If both the above conditions are false, then we print Sum is less than 10.

This is our else statement.

Now let us execute and see.

On the terminal Come back to our terminal.

Let us compile as before.

Let us execute as before.

Here it is displayed,

Enter the value of a and b.

I will give the values as 3 and 5.

The output is displayed as, Sum of a and b is 8.

Sum is less than 10.

Errors Now we will see the common errors which we can come across.

Come back to our program.

Type

%d

Suppose, here at the end of if statement I will type a semicolon.

Let see what will happen.

Click on save Click on Save.
On the terminal Let us execute.

Come back to our terminal.

Let us compile as before.

We see an error:

else without a previous if

Come back to our program.

It is an syntax error.

If statement will never terminate with a semicolon.

And else if statement will never work without an if.

Let us fix the error.

Delete the semicolon ; here

Now click on Save.
Let us execute.

Come back to our terminal.

Let us compile as before.

Let us execute as before.

Enter the value of a and b

I will give the values as 3 and 6.

The output is displayed as

Sum of a and b is 9.

Sum is less than 10.

NOW WE WILL SEE HOW TO EXECUTE THE SAME PROGRAM IN C++.

Come back to our program.

I will change a few things here.
Shift, Ctrl and S simultaneously Press Shift, Ctrl and S keys simultaneously on your keyboard.

Now save the file with an extension .cpp

and click on Save

Type

<iostream>

We will change the header file as,

iostream

Type

using namespace std;

Let us include the using statement.
Type

scanf()

Now click on the search for and replace text option

Let us replace the printf() statement with the cout << statement.

Click on Replace all

and click on Close

Now delete the closing bracket here.

Replace the scanf statement with the cin statement.

Type cin >> and two closing angle brackets

As we use cin >> function to read a line in C++.


Delete

%d

Now delete the format specifiers.

Delete the comma and &

Delete the comma here and type two closing angle brackets.

Again delete the & and the closing brackets

Now Click on Save

Type

<<

Here delete the closing bracket and the comma.

Now delete the (backslash) \n and format specifier

Now Type two opening brackets

Again type two opening angle brackets and within the double quotes type backslash<< “\n”.

Here also we will delete the closing bracket.

Now again delete the closing bracket here and here.

Click on Save Now Click on Save
Let us execute.
On the terminal Come back to our terminal.

Let me clear the prompt. To compile type

g++ space ifstmt.cpp space -o space if1

Here we have if1 because we don't want to overwrite the output parameter if for the file ifstmt.c

Now Press Enter

To execute type

./if1

And Press Enter

Enter the value of a and b.

I will give the values as 20 and 10.

The output is displayed as,

Sum of a and b is 30.

Sum is greater than 20.

This brings us to the end of this tutorial.

Now come back to our slides.

Let us summarize.

In this tutorial we learned,

if statement

eg. if(condition)

{…........

} And

else if statement

eg. else if(condition)

{….........

}

Slide 5

Hint:

use else-if statement.
