In C programming, the if and if-else statements are used for conditional branching, allowing the program to execute certain blocks of code based on whether a specified condition is true or false.
if Statement
The if statement checks a condition and executes a block of code if that condition evaluates to true.
if-else Statement
The if-else statement provides an alternative path of execution if the condition in the if statement is false. If the condition is true, the code inside the if block runs; if it's false, the code inside the else block runs.
