1. OBJECTIVES:
1.1 Introduction to if, if …. else, nested if and switch statements.
1.2 Able to use selection control structures in programs.
1.3 Able to modify program according to user requirements.
2 INTRODUCTION:
In C language, there are several selection methods which can be used:
(a) One way selection
(b) Two way selection
(c) Multi selection
(d) Nested if …
(e) Switch command
2.1 One way selection statement
The syntax for one way selection is as below:
if (condition)
statement;
Compound statement: a group of statements bracketed by { and } that are
executed sequentially. ‘{‘ (open curly bracket) and ‘}’ (close curly bracket) must
be used to show the start and end of the commands under the ‘if’ statement.
if (condition)
{
Flowchart:
statement1;
statement2;
start
}
condition
Yes
statement1
No
2.2 Two way selection statement
The syntax for two way selection is as below:
if (condition)
statement;
or
if (condition)
{
else
statement1;
statement;
statement2;
}
else
{
statement1;
statement2;
}

2.3 Multi selection statement
The syntax for multi selection statement is as below:
Flowchart:
if (condition)
statement;
else if (condition)
statement;
else
statement;
start
condition
T
statement1
F
condition
T
statement1
F
statement1
end
2.4 Nested if statement
Nested if statement is when one if statement is placed inside another if statement.
The nested if statement is used to code decisions with multiple alternatives. The
nested if selection can be modified with the use of logic operator (AND) to combine
two or more conditional (relation) statements to be as one condition statement, thus
omits the nested if statement.
Nested if
Use of logic operator
if (condition)
if (condition)
statement;
else if (condition)
statement;
else
statement;
if ((condition) && (condition))
statement;
else
statement;

2.5 Switch statement
The switch statement is another way to do multi selections statement. The syntax is
as follow:
switch (variable)
{
case value1: printf(“Message 1”);
break;
case value2: printf(“Message 2”);
break;
case value3: printf(“Message 3”);
break;
case value4: printf(“Message 4”);
break;
case value5: printf(“Message 5”);
break;
default: printf(“Default Message”);
}
Note: The break statement is used to end the switch after the category or selection is selected.
Omitting the break statement will not generate a syntax error in your program but it will produce
semantic error.
Question: Find out what are syntax and semantic errors.

3 TASKS:
3.1
(a) The following code segment is syntactically correct, but difficult to read. Rewrite
the segment using indentation that improves its readability.
if (cRoadStat == 's')
if (fTemp > 0)
printf("Roads wet.\n");
else
printf("Roads icy.\n");
else
printf("Roads dry.\n");
(b) Rewrite the following if statement as an equivalent switch statement. The
variable digit is of type int.
if (iDigit == 0)
iValue = 3;
else if (iDigit == 1)
iValue = 3;
else if (iDigit == 2)
iValue = 6;
else if (iDigit == 3)
iValue = 9;

(c) The decision table below shows fines imposed for speeding violations. Write a
code segment that assigns the correct fine to type double variable fine based on
the value of type int variable speed.
Speed (mph)
65 or less
66-70
71-75
76-80
over 80
Fine ($)
0
15.00
30.00
75.00
100.00
(d) Evaluate the expression below assuming a is 5, flag is 1, and c is 15. What part
of the expression is not computed at all because of short-circuit evaluation?
a != 3 && flag || c >= 10
(e) Write the output for the following code segment.
v1 = 15.0;
v2 = 0.5;
if (v1 > 10.0)
printf("ten ");
else if (v1 > 14.0)
printf("fourteen ");
if (v2 * v1 > 7.0)
printf("seven ");
if (v1 - v2 > 9.0)
printf("nine ");
printf("\n");
