If StatementIf 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.

main.cpp

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:

same as

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.

  • Check if a two dimensional square with x (length) and y (height) can fit into another square with dimensions x1 (length) and y1 (height).
  • Output Can fit in console if it can.
