Conditional statements

Decision making structures require that the


programmer specify one or more conditions to be
evaluated or tested by the program, along with a
statement or statements to be executed if the
condition is determined to be true, and optionally,
other statements to be executed if the condition is
determined to be false.

Following is the general form of a typical decision


making structure found in most of the programming
languages:

Only If condition

a = 10;
if a < 20

fprintf('a is less than 20\n' );


end
fprintf('value of a is : %d\n', a);

if and else condition


a = 100;
if a < 20

fprintf('a is less than 20\n' );


else

fprintf('a is not less than 20\n' );


end
fprintf('value of a is : %d\n', a);

Write a program to find weather the number


is even or odd
X = 20;
Y = 2;
R = rem(X,Y)

if R==0
{
fprintf('true' );
}
else
{

fprintf('false' );
}
end

write a program to find weather the no is divisible By 7 or not?

Nested If else statements

It is always legal in MATLAB to nest if-else


statements which means you can use one if or elseif
statement inside another if or elseif statement(s).
Syntax:
The syntax for a nested if statement is as follows:

if <expression 1>
% Executes when the boolean expression 1 is true
if <expression 2>
% Executes when the boolean expression 2 is true
end
end

Example:
Create a script file and type the following code in it:

a = 100;
b = 200;
% check the boolean condition
if( a == 100 )

% if condition is true then check the following


if( b == 200 )

% if condition is true then print the following


fprintf('Value of a is 100 and b is 200\n' );
end

end
fprintf('Exact value of a is : %d\n', a );
fprintf('Exact value of b is : %d\n', b );

output:
Value of a is 100 and b is 200
Exact value of a is : 100
Exact value of b is : 200

Example
a = 400;
b = 50;
c= 300;
% check the boolean condition
if( a > b )

% if condition is true then check the following


if( a > c )

% if condition is true then print the following


fprintf('a' );
end

end
fprintf('Exact value of a is : %d\n', a );
fprintf('Exact value of b is : %d\n', b );

write a program to find greater between 3 numbers


a = 1000;
b = 22200;
c= 3000;
% check the boolean condition
if( a > b )
if( a > c )

fprintf('a' );
else
fprintf('c' );
end

else
if( b > c )
fprintf('b' );
else
fprintf('c' );
end
end

Switch case
A switch block conditionally executes one set of statements
from several choices. Each choice is covered by a case
statement.

An evaluated switch_expression is a scalar or string.

An evaluated case_expression is a scalar, a string or a cell


array of scalars or strings.

The switch block tests each case until one of the cases is
true. A case is true when:

 For a cell array case_expression, at least one of the


elements of the cell array matches switch_expression, as
defined above for numbers, strings and objects.

When a case is true, MATLAB executes the corresponding


statements and then exits the switch block.
Syntax
The syntax of switch statement in MATLAB is:

switch <switch_expression>
case <case_expression>
<statements>
case <case_expression>
<statements>
...
...
otherwise
<statements>
end

grade = 'A';
switch(grade)
case 'A'
fprintf('Excellent!\n' );
case 'B'
fprintf('Well done\n' );
case 'C'
fprintf('Well done\n' );
case 'D'
fprintf('You passed\n' );

case 'F'
fprintf('Better try again\n' );

otherwise
fprintf('Invalid grade\n' );
end

nested Switch case


Syntax:
The syntax for a nested switch statement is as follows:

switch(ch1)
case 'A'
fprintf('This A is part of outer switch');
switch(ch2)
case 'A'
fprintf('This A is part of inner switch' );
case 'B'
fprintf('This B is part of inner switch' );
end
case 'B'
fprintf('This B is part of outer switch' );
end

Example:
Create a script file and type the following code in it:

a = 100;
b = 200;
switch(a)
case 100
fprintf('This is part of outer switch %d\n', a );
switch(b)
case 200
fprintf('This is part of inner switch %d\n', a );
end
end
fprintf('Exact value of a is : %d\n', a );
fprintf('Exact value of b is : %d\n', b );
