Decision Control Structure

The Decision Control Structure

Till now we have used sequence control structure in the programs,in which the various steps are executed sequentially i.e.in the same order in which they appear in the program.
In C programing the instructions are executed sequentially,by default.
At times,we need a set of instructions to be executed in one situation and an another set of instructions to be executed in another situation.
In such cases we have to use decision control instructions.This can be acheived in C using;

(a)The if statement
(b)The if-else statement
(c)The conditional operators

Calculating the average of two numbers using C++

Though this site aims at understanding C language, I am writing a program for you in C++, to have a general idea about C++ too. A program in C++,to calculate the average of two numbers, which are entered by the keyboard while the execution of the program. Try to understand the program; #include &lt iostream &gt using namespace std; int main() {     float num1,num2,average,sum;     cout << "Enter the first number:";     cin >> num1;     cout << "Enter the second number:";     cin >> num2;     sum=num1+num2;     average=sum/2;     cout << "The sum of the two numbers is:"<< sum<<"\n"<<"The average of the two numbers is:" << average; return(0); } Explaination: The new file header used here in this C++ program is the #include . By this , we are asking the preprocessor to add the contents of the ...

Finding the arithmetic operators

Below is a very simple program to find the arithmetic operator. Please feel free to put a comment if need an explanation. #include #include void main()   {     float a1,a2;     char operator;     printf("\n Enter the values of a1 operator a2\n");     scanf("%f%c%f",&a1,&operator,&a2);     switch(operator)      { case '+': printf("%.2f",a1+a2); break; case '-':  printf("%.2f",a1-a2);  break; case '*':  printf("%.2f",a1*a2); break; case '/':  if(a2==0)  printf("error\n");  else  printf("%.2f",a1/a2);  break; default: printf("unknown operatotr\n"); break;      }    }
