Thread: help with c.. i know nothing

i = i + i - i * i / i % i; where in this statement do i put the parenthesis?

z = x > y ? x : y; And can you please tell me in words what this statement is doing?

Also, how do i write this loop as a while loop:

for (i = 10; i > 0; i--){
printf("%d\n", i);
}



and last but not least, how do i rewrite this multi-branching if statement using a switch?

if (i == 1) {
printf("alpha\n");
}
else if (i ==4) {
printf("beta\n");
}
else if (i == 2) {
printf("gamma\n");
}
else{
printf("delta\n");
}


Thanx for your help.

i = i + i - i * i / i % i; where in this statement do i put the parenthesis?

Wherever you want, whatever operation you want to take "precendence"

z = x > y ? x : y; And can you please tell me in words what this statement is doing?

IF 'Z' is GREATER THAN 'Y' THEN 'Z' = 'X'
ELSE 'Z' = 'Y'

it's just like an if statement. If the condition is satisfied(ie: x IS greater than y, then assign the value of x to z)

and last but not least, how do i rewrite this multi-branching if statement using a switch?

if (i == 1) {
printf("alpha\n");
}
else if (i ==4) {
printf("beta\n");
}
else if (i == 2) {
printf("gamma\n");
}
else{
printf("delta\n");
}

Code:

switch (i) {
    case 1:
      printf("i is 1");
      break;
    case 2:
      printf("i is 2\n"0);
      break;
    default:
      printf("delta case\n");
      break;
}

printf("i is 2\n"0);

change to printf("i is 2\n"); .. typo, can't edit because I forgot to sign in.. argh.. :>
