  conditional statements allowus to take logical decisions about executing different block of program to achieve the required logical output. For example, conditional branching statements allow us to write logic such as, "If you are over 25 years old, then you may rent a car.“ Here ”If you are over 25 years old” is a conditional statement which evaluates to true or false and ”you may rent a car” is the logic which has to be executed if the conditional expression evaluates to true There are two types of conditional branching statements in C# The “if” statement The “switch” statement

  The “if” statement Thebasic structure of the if statement is as follows If (conditional statement) { //statements to execute } The statement inside the braces will execute if and only if the conditional statement evaluates to true. if we are using a series of mutually exclusive conditional statements we will use the “if else” statement

  The “if else”statement Consider code snippet 1 and then code snippet 2 Both 1 and 2 does the same thing and output the same thing under identical inputs
• 6.
  The “if else”statement - continued But in the first code snippet , even when the first statement (number == 1) evaluates to true, the compiler checks the other statements which is an unwanted overhead which can affect the performance adversely. But in the second code, since the first statement (number == 1) evaluates to true the compiler ignores the next three “if” blocks. if an expression in an if else statement evaluates to true, the compiler ignores the following statements in that particular “if else block” and jumps to the line after the “if else” statement. We can also add an optional else statement at the end so that if none of the conditions in the if, else if statements have been met, the code inside the else block will be executed We can also use conditional operators (and/or) in if statements in scenarios where multiple expressions are to be evaluated to execute a code block.

  The “switch” statement Aftereach code block a break statement is needed to go out of the switch statement if the condition has been met and the corresponding code has been executed With a switch statement we can replace multiple if else statements.

  The “switch” statement– contind. We can also join multiple case statements inside a switch statements as shown in the following code
• 9.
  The “goto” statement Thegoto statement is used to shift the control of execution to any part of a program marked with the label that succeeds the goto keyword.
• 10.
  The “goto” statement- continued In the previous example, if the user enters an invalid entry, the program control goes to the label marked as “start” and starts to execute the program from there , so that the program again prompts the user to enter a number between 1 and 5. The scope of the goto statement is confined to the function in which it is defined
