Concept understanding — Decision Control Statements (if, if-else and nested-if)

By default a C program runs its statements one after another, but decision (conditional) control statements let it choose between alternative paths depending on a condition. They are the basis of all decision-making programs.

if statement - executes a block only when its condition is true; if the condition is false the block is skipped.
```
if (condition)
    statement;
```
if-else statement - provides two alternatives: one block runs when the condition is true, the other when it is false.
```
if (condition)
    statement1;
else
    statement2;
```
Nested-if / else-if ladder - an if (or if-else) placed inside another, used to test several conditions in turn. This is how a program picks the largest of three numbers, or grades a value into ranges such as short, average and tall. …

[!TLDR]

Read two values and use an if...else if...else ladder with the > and < operators to report their relationship.

Comparing two values means deciding whether the first is greater than, less than, or equal to the second. This is done with the relational operators > and < in an if...else if...else ladder.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a, b;
    printf("Enter two values: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
    if (a > b)
        printf("%d is greater than %d\n", a, b);
    else if (a < b)
        printf("%d is less than %d\n", a, b);
    else …
