Hi. Could someone tell me if this is possible? If so why isnt it running?
I want to know if you can use if statements in cases.
Code:int main(void); { int x; printf("please enter a number between 1 and 100"); scanf("%d",&x); switch(x) { case 1: if(x <= 50) { printf("you entered a number below or equal to 50"); } break; case 2: if (x >50; x<=100) { printf("you entered a number from 50 to 100 "); } break; default: printf("please enter a value between 1 and 100"); break; } }
A switch case like:
is equivalent to:Code:switch (x) { case 1: // Do if 1 break; case 2: // Do if 2 break; default: // Do if anything else break; }
so you're checking whether x is smaller or larger than 50 after you establish that x is either 1 or 2 respectively. The first will only be true if x is 1, and the second can never be true. Also, you made a mistake at line #15, when you want to say "this AND that", AND is "&&" in C.Code:if (x == 1) { // Do if 1 } else if (x == 2) { // Do if 2 } else { // Do if anything else }

Devoted my life to programming...

Remove the ; from the end of this line.

Decide whether you want boolean and (&&) or boolean or (||).
; is not an operator here.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
thank you.
