    If statement....

    hey all, I am having trouble with a program I am writing. Please note that I am a beginner programmer, who doesn't know much more than the basics. I used Dev C++ in a programming class I took and decided to stick with it. I have been trying to figure out how to use an If statement to run a couple equations on one variable, if that variable (an integer) is between 2 numbers, in this case between 64 and 1024. The line I am trying to figure out is noted by: (need proper If statement here)

    Code:
    if (num <= 64)
    {
    num2 = (num * 3);
    num3 = (num * 6);
    }
    if (num >= 1024)
    {
    num2 = (num * 1.25);
    num3 = (num * 1.5);
    }
    (need proper If statement here)
    {
    num2 = (num * 1.5);
    num3 = (num * 2.0);
    }
    I propably should have figured this out myself but I have tried everything I can think of. I hope someone here can help me.

    Thanks

    Code:
    if (condition_1)
    {
        // condition_1 true
    }
    else if (condition_2)
    {
        // condition_1 false, condition_2 true
    }
    else
    {
        // both condition_1 and condition_2 false
    }
