Example of a C Program to Demonstrate if-else Statement

Example:

#include<stdio.h>

void main()
{
    int a, b;

    printf("Please enter the value for a:");
    scanf("%d", &a);

    printf("\nPlease the value for b:");
    scanf("%d", &b);

    if (a > b) {  
        printf("\n a is greater");
    } else {  
        printf("\n b is greater");
    }
}

Program Output:

c-if-else statement 1

Example:

#include<stdio.h>

void main() {
    int num;
    printf("Enter the number:");
    scanf("%d", &num);

    /* check whether the number is negative number */
    if (num < 0)
        printf("The number is negative.");
    else
        printf("The number is positive."); 
}

Program Output:
