Different ways to write conditional statements in C#:
// IF
if(condition)
{
//Do something
}
// If ELSE
if(condition)
{
// Do something
}
else
{
// if false, do something else
}
// IF, ELSE IF
if(condition1)
{
// Do something
}
else if(condition2)
{
// If not condition 1 and condition 2, do something
}
// Note that you can omit the brackets if you only need to do one action.
if(condition)
CallMethod();
// Need to make a conditional assignment? Shorten it!
string yourString = boolCondition ? "This will be assigned if true" : "This will be assigned if false";
// Switch statements can come in handy if there are many different conditions.
switch(someText)
{
case "1":
// do something
break;// breaks out of switch
case "2":
case "3":
// Do the same thing if someText is "2" or "3", then break out of switch
break;
default:
// Thing to do if nothing matches
}
Note that all the above can be stacked and use in many different ways. Your aim should always be to write elegant and readble code
