Decision control structures in C include if statement, if-else statement and switch statement. These statements are useful in situations where we need to run one set of instructions under one condition and entirely different set of instructions if the condition fails.

  • if statement: If the condition is true, the statements within if is executed. If the condition is false, it will not execute any statements.

The symbols which are used to perform logical and mathematical operations in a C program are called C operators. These C operators join individual constants and variables to form expressions.


The C programming language is a procedure oriented programming language which is basically a collection of functions (library functions as well as user defined functions).
