AIM:
To write a simple C Programs on selection statements.

1.0 OBJECTIVES

1. To understand the concept and basic of IF and SWITCH CASE Statement

2. To write a C programming based on the above concept

2.0 THEORY

EXAMPLE 1

Following example will find out large number from given input:
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{

int x,y;

printf("Enter value for X :");

scanf("%d",&x);

printf("Enter value for Y :");

scanf("%d",&y);

if ( x > y )
{
printf("\nThe larger number is X which is - %d\n\n",x);
}

else
{
printf("\nThe larger number is Y which is - %d\n\n",y);
}

return 0;
}

EXAMPLE 2

Following example will ask user to key in positive or negative number as input:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

int a,b;

printf("Type any number (+ve) or (-ve) : ");

scanf("%d",&a);

printf("Type any number again : ");

scanf("%d",&b);

if (a > 0 && b > 0)

printf("\nBoth numbers are positive\n");
if (a == 0 || b == 0)
printf("\nAt least one of the numbers = 0\n");
if (!(a > 0) && !(b > 0))
printf("\nBoth numbers are negative\n");
if ((a > 0) && !(b > 0))
printf("\nThe first number is positive\n");
if (!(a > 0) && (b > 0))
printf("\nThe first number is negative\n");

return 0;
}

EXAMPLE 3

Following program will asks user, which mathematical operation to perform and it prints the
result after performing the desired mathematical operation.

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)

int a,b,c;

printf("WELCOME TO MATHEMATICAL PROGRAM\n");

printf("Enter 1 to perform addition\n");
printf("Enter 2 to perform subtraction\n");
printf("Enter 3 to perform multiplication\n");
printf("Please Enter your choice : ");
scanf("%d",&a);

printf("\nPlease Enter two numbers (separated by space): ");

scanf("%d %d",&b,&c);

switch(a)
{
case 1:
printf("The Addition of %d and %d is %d",b,c,(b+c));
break;
case 2:
printf("The Substraction of %d and %d is %d",b,c,(b-c));
break;
case 3:
printf("The Multiplication of %d and %d is %d",b,c,(b*c));
break;
default:
printf("You have chosen the wrong choice!!!");
}

return 0;
}
