If Else Statement

Learn how to use if, else if, and else statements in C programming with clear examples. Build your understanding step by step in Debian 12 using Vim.
If Else Statement in C Programming
If-Else statements are fundamental in C for decision making. They let your program execute different blocks of code based on conditions. This lesson shows how to use if, else if, and else with practical examples.
What is If-Else?
An if statement checks a condition and executes a block if the condition is true. Else if adds more conditions, and else handles all remaining cases.
Example Code
This program checks if a number is positive, negative, or zero:
#include
int main()
int number;
printf(\\"Enter a number: \\");
scanf(\\"%d\\", &number);
if (number > 0)
printf(\\"The number is positive.\\\
\\");
else if (number < 0)
printf(\\"The number is negative.\\\
\\");
else
printf(\\"The number is zero.\\\
\\");
return 0;
Compiling and Running
To compile and run on Debian 12:
gcc ifelse.c -o ifelse
./ifelse
Expected Output
Enter a number: 5
The number is positive.
Conclusion
Using if, else if, and else lets you control the program’s flow based on conditions. Practice with different numbers to see how it behaves.
