bookIf 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.

Here is the if statement syntax:

  • condition is a boolean expression that evaluates to either true or false;
  • If the condition is true, the code inside the curly braces { } is executed;
  • If the condition is false, the code inside the if block is skipped, and program execution continues with the next statement after the if block.
cpp

main

copy

              
123456789101112

            
#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 { }. For example:

Note

The condition within an if statement requires a bool type. As you may be aware from C++ Data Types course, you can obtain a bool type by performing complex operations using || (logical OR) and && (logical AND). Therefore, the condition in an if statement can also consist of these complex operations.
