C++ Conditional Statements
C++ Conditional Statements
If Statement
The if
statement is a foundational building block of control flow in most programming languages. It allows a program to make decisions and execute different blocks of code based on whether a given condition is true
or false
. The idea behind if
statements is simple: If a condition is met, do something, otherwise, don’t.
if
if (condition) { // Code to be executed if the condition is true }
A condition is a boolean expression that evaluates to either true
or false
. If it is true
, the code within the curly braces { }
is executed; otherwise, if the condition is false
, the code inside the block is skipped, and the program continues with the next statement following the if
block.
main
#include <iostream> int main() { int age = 33; // Declaring and initializing a variable if (age >= 18) // Checking whether the age is greater or equal to 18 { // If so, output the message std::cout << "You are an adult" << std::endl; } }
If you have an if
statement with only one statement to be executed when the condition is true
, you can omit the curly braces { }
.

- Check if a two dimensional square with
x

(height) can fit into another square with dimensionsx1
(length) andy1
(height). - Output
Can fit
in console if it can.
