00:02 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Conditional statements in C and C++. |
00:08 | In this tutorial we will learn, |
00:11 | *How to execute a single statement |
00:14 | *How to execute group of statements. |
00:16 | We will do this through examples. |
00:19 | We will also see some common errors and their solutions. |
00:25 | To record this tutorial, I am using, Ubuntu Operating system version 11.10. |
00:31 | gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1. |
00:38 | Let us start with the introduction to condition statements. |
00:43 | A statement in a program controls the flow of program execution. |
00:49 | It helps to make decision on what code is to be executed. |
00:55 | We can check the conditions, whether true or false. |
01:00 | We can execute a single statement or a group of statements. |
01:07 | Let us understand the flow of if statements. |
01:13 | Here, if the condition is true then statement1 will be executed. |
01:20 | If the condition is false then statement2 will be executed. |
01:29 | Now we will see the flow of else if statement. |
01:32 | Here, if condition 1 is true then statement 1 will be executed. |
01:41 | If condition 1 is false then it will check for another condition that is condition 2. |
01:49 | If condition2 is true, then statement3 will be executed. |
01:54 | And If condition 2 is false, then statement2 will be executed. |
02:02 | Now Let us move on to our program. |
02:06 | I have already typed the code on the editor. |
02:09 | So, let me open it. |
02:13 | Note that our file name is ifstmt.c. |
02:18 | In this program we will calculate the sum of two numbers and will check a few conditions. |
02:26 | Let me explain the code now. |
02:30 | This is our header file. |
02:34 | This is our main() function. |
02:38 | Here we have declared three integer variables, a, b and sum. |
02:46 | Here we are asking for user input. |
02:49 | User will enter the values of a and b. |
02:52 | The values will be stored in variable a and variable b. |
02:58 | The scanf() function reads data from the console. |
03:02 | It then stores the result in the given variable. |
03:06 | The format specifier in the scanf() helps to know the type of data. |
03:10 | Like here, we have %d, it denotes that we are dealing with integer data type. |
03:18 | Here we add the values of a and b. |
03:22 | We will store the result in sum. |
03:25 | Then we print the result. |
03:29 | This is our if statement. |
03:30 | Here, we check the condition whether sum is greater than 20. |
03:36 | If the condition is true, then we print Sum is greater than 20. |
03:42 | Now let me comment out these lines. |
03:48 | This is our return statement. |
03:51 | Now click on Save. |
03:53 | First we will see the execution of if statement. |
03:58 | Please open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
04:09 | To compile, type gcc space ifstmt dot c space -o space if and press Enter. |
04:20 | To execute, type ./if (dot slash if). Press Enter. |
04:26 | It is displayed as |
04:27 | Enter the values of a and b. |
04:31 | I will give the values as 10 and 12. |
04:38 | The output is displayed as Sum of a and b is 22. Sum is greater than 20. |
04:45 | Now come back to our program. |
04:48 | We will check another condition. |
04:52 | Let me remove the comment from here. |
04:56 | I will give the comment here. |
05:00 | Now click on Save. |
05:03 | This is our else-if statement. |
05:05 | Here, we check another condition whether Sum is greater than 10. |
05:11 | If the condition is true then we print 'Sum is greater than 10 and less than 20'. |
05:18 | Now come back to our terminal. |
05:20 | Let us compile as before. |
05:23 | Let us execute as before. |
05:26 | It is displayed as |
05:28 | Enter the value of a and b. |
05:30 | I will give the values as 10 and 2. |
05:35 | The output is displayed as: Sum of a and b is 12. |
05:38 | Sum is greater than 10 and less than 20. |
05:42 | Let me clear the prompt. |
05:44 | Now come back to our program. |
05:48 | I will remove the comment from here and here. Now click on Save. |
05:56 | If both the above conditions are false then we print 'Sum is less than 10'. |
06:04 | This is our else statement. |
06:07 | Now let us execute and see. Come back to our terminal. |
06:11 | Let us compile as before. Let us execute as before. |
06:18 | Here it is displayed as |
06:19 | Enter the value of a and b. |
06:22 | I will give the values as 3 and 5. |
06:27 | The output is displayed as sum of a and b is 8. |
06:31 | Sum is less than 10. |
06:34 | Now we will see some common errors which we can come across. |
06:38 | Come back to our program. |
06:41 | Suppose, here at the end of if statement I will type a semicolon (;). |
06:47 | Let us see what will happen. Click on Save. |
06:50 | Let us execute. Come back to our terminal. |
06:53 | Let us compile as before. |
06:56 | We see an error: 'else' without a previous 'if' |
07:02 | Come back to our program. It is an syntax error. |
07:07 | if statement will never terminate with a semicolon. |
07:10 | And the else if statement will never work without an if. |
07:16 | Let us fix the error. Delete the semicolon (;) here. |
07:22 | Now Click on Save. |
07:25 | Let us execute. Come back to the terminal. |
07:29 | Let us compile as before. Let us execute as before. |
07:35 | Enter the value of a and b. |
07:37 | I will give the values as 3 and 6. |
07:43 | The output is displayed as |
07:45 | Sum of a and b is 9. Sum is less than 10. |
07:52 | NOW WE WILL SEE HOW TO EXECUTE THE SAME PROGRAM IN C++. |
07:57 | Come back to our program. |
07:59 | I will change a few things here. |
08:03 | Press Shift, Ctrl and S keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
08:11 | Now save the file with an extension dot cpp and click on Save. |
08:20 | We will change the header file as iostream. |
08:26 | Let us include the using statement here. |
08:30 | Now click on the Search for and replace text option . |
08:35 | Let us replace the printf statement with the cout statement. |
08:40 | Click on Replace all and click on Close. |
08:46 | Now delete the closing brackets here. |
08:49 | Replace the scanf() statement with the cin statement. |
08:54 | Type cin and two closing angle brackets >> |
09:00 | As we use cin >> function to read a line in C++. |
09:05 | Now delete the format specifiers. |
09:09 | Delete the comma and ampersand &. |
09:12 | Delete the comma here and type two closing angle brackets. |
09:17 | Again delete the ampersandand the closing brackets. Now click on Save. |
09:25 | Here delete the closing bracket and the comma. |
09:31 | Now delete the 'backslash n' and 'format specifier'.
' |
09:37 | Now type two opening brackets. |
09:42 | Again type two opening angle brackets and within the double quotes type backslash n “\n”. |
09:49 | Here also we will delete the closing bracket. |
09:53 | Now again delete the closing bracket here and here. |
09:59 | Now click on Save |
10:02 | Let us execute. |
10:04 | Come back to the terminal. Let me clear the prompt. |
10:10 | To compile, type g++ space ifstmt.cpp space -o space if1 |
10:20 | Here we have 'if1' because we don't want to overwrite the output parameter if for the file 'ifstmt.c'. |
10:31 | Now Press 'Enter'. |
10:32 | To execute type ./if1 (dot slash if1) and press Enter. |
10:39 | Enter the value of a and b. I will give the values as 20 and 10. |
10:48 | The output is displayed as Sum of a and b is 30 |
10:52 | Sum is greater than 20 |
10:56 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
10:59 | Now come back to our slides. |
11:02 | Let us summarize. |
11:04 | In this tutorial we learned 'if' statement eg. if(condition), |
11:11 | And 'else if' statement eg. else if(condition). |
11:17 | As an assignment, |
11:18 | Write a program to check 'a' is greater than 'b' or less than 'b'. |
11:24 | Hint: use 'if' statement. |
11:28 | Write another program to check which value is greater 'a', 'b' or 'c'. |
11:34 | Hint: use 'else-if' statement. |
