if else Statement in C++ language

The if statement lets you do something if a condition is true. If it isn’t true, nothing happens. But suppose we want to do one thing if a condition is true, and do something else if it’s false.

That’s where the if...else statement comes in. It consists of an if statement, followed by a statement or block of statements, followed by the keyword else, followed by another statement or block of statements.

Syntax of if....else Statement:

if(condition)
{
   // Statements inside body of if
}
else if(condition)
{
   //Statements inside body of else if
}
else 
{ 
     //Statements inside body of else 
}
