What is If statement: Definition and 22 Discussions

In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs,) are programming language commands for handling decisions. Specifically, conditionals perform different computations or actions depending on whether a programmer-defined boolean condition evaluates to true or false. In terms of control flow, the decision is always achieved by selectively altering the control flow based on some condition (apart from the case of branch predication).
Although dynamic dispatch is not usually classified as a conditional construct, it is another way to select between alternatives at runtime.

    Python Is this if statement being evaluated?

    Line 7 in the code below seems to remove an element from stack, but why is this happening since it's just checking a condition? I'm pretty shocked I don't have to remove the previous char from stack myself. def isValid(s): stack = [] dict = {"]":"[", "}":"{", ")":"("} for char in s...

    Comp Sci C++, float and double having different effects on an if statement?

    So I used this statement, if (call_time > 0 && call_time <= 6.59) where the variable was declared as float. What is strange is that it didn't execute for call_time = 6.59, but for some other values, like if (call_time > 0 && call_time <= 2.59) the end value of the range does not cause any...

    What's wrong with my if-else statements in Python 3?

    Goal: I'm trying to allow the user to input varying spellings for certain auto services, and still have my code work properly.

    If statement for Monte Carlo integration

    Hello, I am writing a program on Fortran to calculate the integral of sin^4(x) between x = 0 and x = π/2. I believe I know how to write the correct code, but I am unsure what the if statement should be for whether or not a point is inside the desired area. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Nested IF statements or multiple conditions?

    Currently in my C++ program I have something like if (A){ do thing 1; } if (A && B){ do things 1 and 2; } if (A && B && C){ do things 1 and 2 and 3; } and so on. Unfortunately this has to be done for a very large sample and it takes quite a long time. I was just wondering if it's more...

    Java Java While Loop and If statement

    I am reading an input file that has blank lines. x reads character by character. x is equal to a new line so it goes into the while loop but skips the if x == '\n'. It's suppose to go inside the if statement but it doesn't. I tried debugging the code and printed out to double check x is holding...

    Nested if statement within a do-while loop

    I don't understand why this would work, shouldn't it be "while(x)" because we don't want to repeat the loop? int main(void) { int x=0; do { printf("Enter an amount:\n"); scanf("%lf", &amount); if (amount < 100) x=1; else printf("Invalid"); }while(!x); return 0; }
