if...else...if and switch...case both programming constructs has ability to take decision based on conditions. Both are almost similar in nature. However, there is always a debate among beginners which to use and when to use what?
In this post, I will compare both on various grounds. So let us begin.
Continue reading If…else…if vs switch…case, difference and usage?
Simple if and if...else...if statements provide a great support to control programs flow. Simple if is single condition based task i.e. "if some condition is true, then do the task". In contrast if...else...if statement provides multiple condition checks i.e. "if some condition is true, then do some task. If the condition is false, then check some other condition and do some task. If all conditions fails, then do some default task."
In previous post, I explained to control programs flow of execution using simple if statement.
Simple if works as "if some condition is true then do some tasks". It doesn't specifies what to do if condition is false. A good program must think both ways. For example - if user inputs correct account number and pin, then allow money withdrawal otherwise show error message to user.
So far in our journey of learning C programming, we learned to write simple C programs, that executes in the sequence we write. A program that always executes in same sequence is worthless. The ability to control program flow and statements execution is worth.
if statement allows us to select an action based on some condition. It gives programmer to take control over a piece of code. Programmer can control the execution of code based on some condition or user input. For example - if user inputs valid account number and pin, then allow money withdrawal.

Write a C program to input amount from user and print minimum number of notes (Rs. 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1) required for the amount. How to the minimum number of notes required for the given amount in C programming. Program to find minimum number of notes required for the given denomination. Logic to find minimum number of denomination for a given amount in C program.
Input amount: 575
Output
Total number of notes: 500: 1 100: 0 50: 1 20: 1 10: 0 5: 1 2: 0 1: 0

if...else is a branching statement. It is used to take an action based on some condition. For example - if user inputs valid account number and pin, then allow money withdrawal.
If statement works like "If condition is met, then execute the task". It is used to compare things and take some action based on the comparison. Relational and logical operators supports this comparison.

Write a C program to input electricity unit charge and calculate the total electricity bill according to the given condition:
For first 50 units Rs. 0.50/unit
For next 100 units Rs. 0.75/unit
For next 100 units Rs. 1.20/unit
For unit above 250 Rs. 1.50/unit
An additional surcharge of 20% is added to the bill.
