Conditionals

Let’s say we have the code from last chapter;

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	int year = 2026;
	
	printf("This is the year %i", year);
	
	return 0;
}

To add conditional statements, they look like this;

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	int year = 2026;
	
	if(year == 2026) {	
		printf("This is the year %i", year);
	}
	
	return 0;
}

The usual comparison operators are available, greater than, less than, and so on. You can also use logical operators, like && for and, or || for or.

Variables

C supports variables with type declaration.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	int year = 2026;
	
	printf("This is the year %i", year);
	
	return 0;
}

In the above example, the variable year is placed into a function printf, but has to specify which type of variable is going to take the that space, which is where the %i comes in.

Writing a variable follows this syntax,

datattype variablename = value;

C is statically typed, which means datatypes are checked at compile time, data types inform the compiler on how to interpret and operate on the data, and lets the compiler know how much memory is needed for that data.
