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 three integers, assume the first is largest, then compare with the other two to find and print the greatest.

The largest of three integers is found by taking the first as the assumed largest and then comparing it with the remaining two using the > operator, updating the largest whenever a bigger value is found.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a, b, c, large;
    printf("Enter three integers: ");
    scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
    large = a;
    if (b > large)
        large = b;
    if (c > large)
        large = c; …
