C++ Decision Making

Decision making statements in C++ allows you to specify one or more condition to be evaluated by your program to run specific statement(s). There are following types of decision making statements available in C++. You will learn all about these C++ decision making statements in detail, in C++ if if-else if-else-if switch Statements tutorial.

You will learn in detail about the above C++ decision making statements in next tutorial.

C++ Decision Making Example

Let's take some example, demonstrating the above listed C++ decision making statements practically. As already told, that the explanation and details description of this chapter is described in the next tutorial.

/* C++ Decision Making */

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
   clrscr();
   int a, b;
   char choice;
   cout<<"Enter any two numbers: ";
   cin>>a>>b;
   cout<<"\n";
   cout<<"1. Add\n";
   cout<<"2. Subtract\n";
   cout<<"3. Multiply\n";
   cout<<"4. Divide\n";
   cout<<"5. Nothing\n";
   cout<<"\nWhat do you want ? (1-5) ";
   cin>>choice;
   cout<<"\n";
   switch(choice)
   {
      case '1' :
         cout<<a+b;
         break;
      case '2' :
         cout<<a-b;
         break;
      case '3' :
         cout<<a*b;
         break;
      case '4' :
         cout<<a/b;
         break;
      case '5' :
         exit(1);
      default :
         cout<<"Wrong choice..!!..Press any key to exit..\n";
         getch();
         exit(2);
   }
   getch();
}

Here is the sample run of the above C++ decision making program:

Here is another sample run of the same, above C++ decision making program:

Here is another C++ program, also demonstrating C++ decision making practically

/* C++ Decision Making */

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
   clrscr();
   int a, b;
   char choice;
   cout<<"Enter any two numbers: ";
   cin>>a>>b;
   cout<<"\n";
   cout<<"1. Add\n";
   cout<<"2. Subtract\n";
   cout<<"3. Multiply\n";
   cout<<"4. Divide\n";
   cout<<"5. Nothing\n";
   cout<<"\nWhat do you want ? (1-5) ";
   cin>>choice;
   cout<<"\n";
   if(choice == '1')
   {
      cout<<a+b;
   }
   else if(choice == '2')
   {
      cout<<a-b;
   }
   else if(choice=='3')
   {
      cout<<a*b;
   }
   else if(choice=='4')
   {
      cout<<a/b;
   }
   else if(choice=='5')
   {
      exit(1);
   }
   else
   {
      cout<<"Wrong choice..!!..Press any key to exit..\n";
      getch();
      exit(2);
   }
   getch();
}

Here are the two sample runs of the above C++ decision making program:
