Nested If-else
In some situation ,nested if -else statement will occur and that would be good for that
situation.
This statement are nothing but same if-else statement with an another if-else
statement in their body.
This helps you to perform multiple actions in a single instruction.
What makes nested statement to come in action?
Because, there are some problem which has to be solve by them, and for that
situation nested statements becomes efficient.
Lets first see its syntax and then we will solve One problem regarding to nested
statements.

Syntax

1/6
if(condition)
{
//body if block
}
else
{
if(condition)
{
//block of if
}
else{ //else block with another else statement.
if(condition){

// if block.
}
else{

// default statement.
//if no condition matches than this block will get executed

}
}

Lets solve a problem , of grades of student.

Q:take an percentage of student as an input and tell them what is their

grade.
below displayed table has percentage and grade corresponding to their
marks

Percentage Grade

above 90 O

80 to 90 A

70 to 80 B

60 to 70 C

50 to 60 D

40 to 50 E

2/6
 below 40 Fail

Percentage and Grades.

Solution:

3/6
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int per;
printf("Enter your percentage:");
scanf("%d",&per);
if(per > 90){
printf("Your grade is O");
}
else{
if(per > 80 && per <= 90){
printf("Your grade is A");
}
else{
if(per > 70 && per <= 80)
{
printf("Your grade is B");
}
else{
if(per > 60 && per <= 70)
{
printf("Your grade is C");
}
else{
if(per > 50 && per <= 60)
{
printf("Your grade is D");
}

else{
if(per > 40 && per <= 50)
{
printf("Your grade is E");
}
else
printf("Fail");

}
}
}
}
}
}

Output: For all types of percentage

Enter your percentage:95
4/6
Your grade is O.
Enter your percentage:85
Your grade is A.
Enter your percentage:75
Your grade is B.
Enter your percentage:65
Your grade is C.
Enter your percentage:55
Your grade is D.
Enter your percentage:45
Your grade is E.
Enter your percentage:31
Fail.
Above code is just looking lengthy but, when you will read the code, you will find it
easy.
Explanation:
For: percentage = 65
when condition was checked at first if block it was evaluated false.
As you know control goes to else block, so it went to else block and in that else
block there is an if block.
Condition was checked in that if block and it also evaluated to false, and again
control went to next else block
In that else block there was an another if block, as condition was checked for
that if block, but again it evaluated to false, and control went to next else block.
That else block also contain an if block, as condition was checked for that if block but
,This time condition was evaluated to true and it printed that 'Your grade is C'
Try to trace grade for other percentage by your own, doing this you will understand
the nested statement better.
Try to do more programs on nested statement to understand it better.

Note: If you have code of one line in your if block you can write it without
using the curly braces, In Above code we have used the braces just because
you should not get confuse.
