Decision Control
Statements
SLIDESMANIA.C
Decision Control Statements
 if Statement
 if-else Statement
 if-else-if Statement
 switch-case Statement
SLIDESMANIA.C
if Statement
 the simplest decision control
statement that is frequently used
in decision making.
SLIDESMANIA.C
if Statement Construct
SLIDESMANIA.C
NOTE: In case the statement block contains
only one statement, putting curly brackets
becomes optional. If there are more than one
statement in the statement block, putting
curly brackets becomes mandatory.
SLIDESMANIA.C
if-else Statement
 used to separate set of
statements to be executed if the
expression returns a false value.
SLIDESMANIA.C
if-else Statement Construct
SLIDESMANIA.C
if-else-if Statement
 test additional conditions apart
from the initial test expression.
SLIDESMANIA.C
if-else-if Statement Construct
SLIDESMANIA.C
switch-case Statement
 a multi-way decision statement
that is a simplified version of an
if-else-if block.

switch-case Statement Construct
SLIDESMANIA.C
The power of nested if-else-if statements lies in the
fact that it can evaluate more than one expression
in a single logical structure. switch statements are
mostly used in two situations:
 When there is only one variable to evaluate in the
expression
 When many conditions are being tested for
SLIDESMANIA.C
When there are many conditions to test, using the
if and else-if constructs becomes complicated and
confusing. Therefore, switch case statements are
often used as an alternative to long if statements
that compare a variable to several ‘integral’ values
(integral values are those values that can be
expressed as an integer, such as the value of a
SLIDESMANIA.C

char). Switch statements are also used to handle


the input given by the user.

Default is the case that is executed when the
value of the variable does not match with any of
the values of the case statements. That is, default
case is executed when no match is found between
the values of switch and case statements and thus
there are no statements to be executed. Although
the default case is optional, it is always
SLIDESMANIA.C

recommended to include it as it handles any


unexpected case.
The break statement must be used at the end of
each case because if it is not used, then the case
that matched and all the following cases will be
executed. The break statement tells the compiler
to jump out of the switch case statement and
execute the statement following the switch-case
construct. Thus, the keyword break is used to
SLIDESMANIA.C

break out of the case statements.


Advantages of Using a switch-case
Statement
 Easy to debug
 Easy to read and understand
 Ease of maintenance as compared to its
equivalent if-else statements
 Like if-else statements, switch statements can
SLIDESMANIA.C

also be nested
 Executes faster than its equivalent if-else
