Thread: If, then with + and -, question

ok I'm vedry new to C. I know if you want to use an interger vairiable you put scanf("%d", X) then you put if X = 2 then do this.

how do you put if X = + or X = -?

what are the mathmatical sybols? do they fall in the character category or what?

First, it should be:

scanf("%d", &X);

Then to test if it's positive or negative, just use the less/greater than symbols.

Code:

if( X < 0 ) {
     /* X is negative */
}
if( X > 0 ) {
     /* X is positive */
}
if( X == 0 ) {
     /* X is zero */
}

You could also use if else statements if you preferred.
