Lab 4: Control Statements (Conditional): If and Its Variants, Switch
(Break)
Objectives:
Master the usage of conditional control statements in C.
Understand the different variants of the "if" statement.
Explore the "switch" statement and its application.
Theory: Conditional control statements provide the ability to make decisions in a
program. This lab focuses on mastering the "if" statement and its variants, as well
as the "switch" statement, which is useful for handling multiple conditions.
Tasks:
1. If Statement:
Objective: Understand the basic usage of the "if" statement.
Task: Implement a simple program that uses an "if" statement to
make a decision based on a condition.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int num = 10;
if (num > 5)
printf("Number is greater than 5\n");
return 0;
}
2. If-Else Statement:
Objective: Grasp the usage of the "if-else" statement for decision-
making.
Task: Extend the previous program to include an "else" block for
handling the case when the condition is false.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int num = 3;
if (num > 5) {
printf("Number is greater than 5\n");
else
printf("Number is less than or equal to 5\n");
return 0;
}
3. Nested If Statements:
Objective: Learn about nested "if" statements for handling multiple
conditions.
Task: Implement a program with nested "if" statements to address
multiple scenarios.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int x = 10, y = 5;
if (x > y) {
printf("x is greater than y\n");
if (x == 10) {
printf("x is equal to 10\n");
return 0;
}
4. Switch Statement:
Objective: Understand the "switch" statement as an alternative to
multiple "if-else" statements.
Task: Implement a program that uses a "switch" statement to handle
different cases.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int choice = 2;
switch (choice) {
case 1:
printf("Choice 1 selected\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("Choice 2 selected\n");
break;
default:
printf("Invalid choice\n");
return 0;
5. If-Else If Ladder:
Objective: Learn to use the "if-else if" ladder for handling multiple
conditions.
Task: Extend the previous program to include an "else if" ladder to handle
additional cases.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int score = 75;
if (score >= 90) {
printf("Grade: A\n");
} else if (score >= 80) {
printf("Grade: B\n");
} else if (score >= 70) {
printf("Grade: C\n");
} else {
printf("Grade: F\n");
return 0;
}
6. Conditional Operator (Ternary Operator):
Objective: Understand the use of the conditional operator as a shorthand
for simple "if-else" statements.
Task: Implement a program that utilizes the conditional operator for a
concise conditional assignment.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int num = 7;
// Using conditional operator to determine if the number is even or odd
(num % 2 == 0) ? printf("Even\n") : printf("Odd\n");
return 0;
}
7. Switch Statement with Fallthrough:
Objective: Explore the concept of fallthrough in the "switch" statement.
Task: Implement a program that demonstrates fallthrough by deliberately
omitting "break" statements in a "switch" statement.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int day = 2;
switch (day) {
case 1:
printf("Monday\n");
// Fallthrough to the next case
case 2:
printf("Tuesday\n");
break;
default:
printf("Invalid day\n");
return 0;
Assignment
1. Write a program that converts temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or
vice versa based on user input. Ask the user for the temperature value and
the desired conversion type. The conversion formulas are:
Celsius to Fahrenheit: F = (C * 9/5) + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius: C = (F - 32) * 5/9

Lab 5: Goto Statement, Control Statements (Looping): While, Do..While,
For Loop, Continue & Break (Unconditional), Nested Loops
Objectives:
Explore the use of the "goto" statement for unconditional jumps in C.
Master the implementation of different looping constructs: "while,"
"do..while," and "for" loops.
Understand the usage of "continue" and "break" statements for loop control.
Gain proficiency in working with nested loops.
Theory: The "goto" statement allows unconditional jumps within a program, while
looping constructs such as "while," "do..while," and "for" provide structured ways
to repeat a block of code. Additionally, "continue" and "break" statements enhance
control within loops, and nested loops involve the use of loops within loops.
Tasks:
1. Goto Statement:
Objective: Understand the "goto" statement for unconditional
jumps.
Task: Implement a program that uses the "goto" statement to jump
to a specific label.
#include <stdio.h>

start:
printf("Count: %d\n", count);
count++;
if (count < 5) {
goto start;
return 0;
}
2. While Loop:
Objective: Master the "while" loop for repetitive execution.
Task: Implement a program that uses a "while" loop to print
numbers from 1 to 5.

int i = 1;
while (i <= 5) {
printf("%d ", i);
i++;
printf("\n");
return 0;
3. Do..While Loop:
Objective: Learn the "do..while" loop, ensuring the loop body
executes at least once.
Task: Implement a program that uses a "do..while" loop to calculate
the sum of numbers entered by the user.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num, sum = 0;
do {
printf("Enter a number (0 to exit): ");
scanf("%d", &num);
sum += num;
} while (num != 0);
printf("Sum: %d\n", sum);
return 0;
4. For Loop:
Objective: Understand the "for" loop for compact iteration.
Task: Implement a program that uses a "for" loop to print the
multiplication table of a given number.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
int num, i;
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
printf("%d x %d = %d\n", num, i, num * i);
return 0;
}
5. Continue Statement:
Objective: Learn to use the "continue" statement to skip the rest of
the loop's code and move to the next iteration.
Task: Implement a program that uses "continue" to skip printing
even numbers.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
continue; // Skip even numbers
printf("%d ", i);
printf("\n");
return 0;
6. Break Statement:
Objective: Understand the "break" statement for prematurely
exiting a loop.
Task: Implement a program that uses "break" to exit a loop when a
specific condition is met.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (i == 5) {
break; // Exit the loop when i is 5
printf("%d ", i);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Nested Loops:
Objective: Gain proficiency in working with nested loops.
Task: Implement a program that uses nested loops to create a
pattern.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i, j;
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for (j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
printf("* ");
printf("\n");
return 0;
