Controlling Exection of Statements
if statement, Switch Case
Loops -> For loop, While Loop, Do-While Loop
Swtich statement is a multi-way conditional statement, generalizing the if-else statement
Constant integral expressions following case labels must all be unique. if there is no break statement execution "falls through" to the next case statement
The switch statement allows for multiple branches from a single expression. It's more efficient and easier to follow than a multileveled if statement. A switch statement evaluates an expression and then branches to the case statement that contains the template matching the expression's result. If no template matches the expression's result, control goes to the default statement. If there is no default statement, control goes to the end of the switch statement
switch statement works on following data types char,short,int and long, floating point types, float double , long double, are not supported in switch statement
switch case syntax:
switch(expression)
{
case const-expr1: statements;
case const-expr2: statements;
.
.
.
default: statements;
}
for loop synatx:
for(expr1; condition;expr2)
{
statements....
}
expr1 for initializing a variable
condition executes for every iteration,true enters into loop,false exists from loop,
expr2 usually incremental value
for(int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
printf("%d",i);
}
//here expr1 is int i=0;
// condition i < 10
// expr2 is i++
as long as condition is true loop executes printf statement
while loop synatx:
expr1
while(condition)
{
statements....
expr2;
}
while loop condition is +ve and -ve values enter into loop, for 0 exits from loop
Infinity loops
while (1){
statements...
}
while (x=2){
statements...
}
find number is power of 2 or not using While loop
int x=10;
while (1){
printf("Please enter Number:");
scanf("%d", &x);
if(x == -1)
break;
char *ptr = ( (x&(x-1)) == 0)? "yes": "no" ;
printf("%s\n", ptr);
}
output:
Please enter Number:1 yes Please enter Number:2 yes Please enter Number:3 no Please enter Number:4 yes Please enter Number:32 yes Please enter Number:-1
Do while loop synatx:
do
{
statements....
}while(condition);
