In this tutorial, we will learn how to use C++ for decision making with example.

Syntax of if else statement:

If the condition of if statement is correct i.e returns true then the code inside if is executed and the else part is skipped.If the condition of if returns false then code inside else block is executed.

}

Flow Diagram of If else statement to check if number is odd or even.

An even number is an integer that is exactly divisible by 2. Example: 0, 8, -24

An odd number is an integer that is not exactly divisible by 2. Example: 1, 7, -11, 15

Check if given number is odd or even.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



int main() 

{ 

int num; 

   cout << "Enter an number: "; 

   cin >> num; 

   if(num % 2 == 0) 

   { 

       cout << n << " is even."; 

   } else { 

        cout << n << " is odd."; 

   } 

   return 0; 

}

Output

Enter any number: 8

8 is even.

The number entered is stored in variable num.In above program, This statement will only execute if the above condition (num % 2 == 0) returns true.This statement will only execute if the condition specified in the “if” returns false.
