C# Conditions
• C# provides many decision-making statements that help the flow of the
C#
program based on certain logical conditions.
• C# supports the usual logical conditions from mathematics:
• Less than: a < b
• Less than or equal to: a <= b
• Greater than: a > b
• Greater than or equal to: a >= b
• Equal to a == b
• Not Equal to: a != b
• These conditions can be used to perform different actions for
different decisions.
C#
Conditions
C# has the following conditional statements:
• If Statement
• Else Statement
• Else If Statement
• Nested If Statement
• Switch Case Statement
C# if
statement
• The if statement is used to specify a block of code to be executed, if
a
specified condition is true
Syntax:
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is
True
}
• In the example below, we test two values to find out if 20 is greater than 18.
If the condition is True, print some text:
if (20 > 18) {
Console.WriteLine("20 is greater than 18");
}
Note: if is in lowercase letters. Uppercase letters (If or IF) will generate an error.
C# if
statement
Example: if (single line statement)
int x =
10; int y
= 5; if
(x > y)
Console.W
riteLine(
"x is
greater
Example: if (multiple lines statements)
than y");
Console.Wr
int x = 10;
iteLine("S
int yline
ingle = 5;
if (x > y)
statement
{
example");
Console.Wr
iteLine("x
is greater
than y");
C# else
statement
• The else statements is used to specify a block of code to be executed, if
the
same condition is false
Syntax:
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is
True
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is
False
}
C# else
statement
Example:
int csharp =
70; if (csharp
>= 50)
{
Console.WriteL
ine("Congratul
ations, you
passed");
}
else
{
Console.WriteL
ine("Sorry,
you failed");
• using System;
• namespace ConsoleApp2
•{
• class Program
• {
• static void Main(string[] args)
• {
• Console.WriteLine("Enter the
Number");
• int x =
int.Parse((Console.ReadLine());
• if( x>20)
• {
• Console.WriteLine("X is greater
than 20");
• }
• else
• {
• Console.WriteLine("X is less than
20");
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter Number 1");
int num1= int.Parse((Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter Number 2");
int num2 = int.Parse((Console.ReadLine());
float re = 0;
if ( num2==0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error / by Zero");
}
else
{
re = num1 / num2;
}
Console.WriteLine(re);
}}}
C# else if
statement
• The else if statements is used to specify a new condition to test, if the
first
condition is false
Syntax:
if (condition1) {
// block of code to execute if condition1 is
be d True
} else if {
(condition2)
// block of code to execute if the condition1 false
be d is
and condition2 is
True
} else {
// block of code to execute if the condition1 false
be d is
and condition2 is
C# else if statement
Example:
int i = 50;
int j = 70;
if (i > j)
{
Console.WriteLine("i is greater than j");
}
else if (i < j)
{
Console.WriteLine("j is greater than i");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("i is equal to j");
}
C# Ternary operator
Syntax:
variable = (condition) ? expressionTrue : expressionFalse;
Solving same previous example using Ternary operator
int csharp = 70;
string result = (csharp >= 50) ?
"Congratulations, you passed" : "Sorry, you
failed"; Console.WriteLine(result);
C# Nested if
statement
• if and if-else statements can be nested, i.e. used inside another if or else
statement
• Every else corresponds to its closest preceding if
if (expression)
{
if (expression)
{
statement;
}
else
{
statement;
}
}
else
statement;
C# Nested if
statement
Example:
int first = 50;
int second = 70;
if (first == second)
{
Console.WriteLine("The two numbers are equal");
}
else
{
if (first > second)
{
Console.WriteLine("The first number is
greater");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The second number is
greater");
}
C# Switch statement
• Use the switch statement to select one of many code blocks to be
executed.
Syntax:
switch(expression)
{
case x:
// code block
break;
case y:
// code block
break;
default:
// code block
break;
}
• static void Main(string[]
args)
• {
• Console.WriteLine("Enter the Number");
• int num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
• switch (num)
• {
• case 12:
• Console.WriteLine("12");
• break;
• case 15:
• Console.WriteLine("15");
• Console.WriteLine("No");
• break;
• default:
• Console.WriteLine("Error");
• break;
• }
• }}
C# Switch statement
Example:
int day = 6;
switch
(day)
{ case 1:
Console.WriteLine("Saturday
"); break;
case 2:
Console.WriteLine("Sunday
"); break;
case 3:
Console.WriteLine("Monday
"); break;
case 4:
Console.WriteLine("Tuesday
"); break;
case 5:
Console.WriteLine("Wednesday
"); break;
case 6:
Console.WriteLine("Thursday
"); break;
case 7:
Console.WriteLine("Friday
"); break;
C# Switch statement
break Keyword:
• When C# reaches a break keyword, it breaks out of the switch block.
• This will stop the execution of more code and case testing inside the block.
• When a match is found, and the job is done, it's time for a break. There is
no
need for more testing.
