I am having problems with if statements and if else, anybody with a clue of how to understand them?

Answer 1

The other answerers may have confused you by saying else if not if else.

For an if statement.
It checks if a condition is true, and if it is true, then the statements involved in this if statement are executed.
For example,
if (something is true) {
  print out that it is true;
}

An if else statement is a bit different, it includes a second clause, the else part. Similar to the if statement, It checks if a condition is true, and if it is true, then the statements involved in this if statement are executed. If the condition is false however, the else clause is executed.
For example
if (something is true) {
  print out that it is true;
} else {
  print out that it is false;
}

Answer 2

If statement is a conditional response. Like IF you go to school, THEN you will pass your exam. ELSE IF is used to add a second layer of conditioning into your orginal statement.
For example, IF you go to school, THEN you will pass your exam, ELSE IF you go to the party, THEN you will not know when the exam is.
ELSE is used when the IF is not satisfied. IF (1) THEN (2) ELSE (3). If (1) is true, then the outcome is (2). But if (1) is not true, the outcome is (3). With ELSEIF, instead of (3), you just add another IF statement there.

Answer 3

You might indicate what environment you are using (e.g. Visual Basic)

Basically an If statement says do what ever is after the if when the condition stated in the if statement is true.

An if else statement says do what ever is after the if when the condition stated in the if statement is true otherwise do whatever is after the else

Answer 4

An 'if' statement is only entered when the condition you placed is true. Otherwise the software will move to next line of coding.
With 'if else' statements, you select what should be done both times: when the condition of 'if' is true and when the condition is false 'else'.

Hope it helps.

Answer 6

If you mean VB 6 then i can help, although I don't know much about VB.Net, you don't do if else, you do else if and as one word.. like so..

If Hello = 2 then
Label1.Caption = "The number is 2"
ElseIf Hello = 3 then
Label1.caption = "The number is 3"
Else
Label1.caption = "The number isn't 2 or 3"
End If
