Conditional statements : What is a if-else statement in C++?

Conditional statement (if-else) 

In conditional control , the execution of statements depends upon the condition-test. If the condition evaluates to true, then a set of statements is executed otherwise another set of statements is followed. This control is also called Decision Control because it helps in making decision about which set of statements is to be executed.


 If condition 

The if statement is the most simple decision making statement in C++ programming. Using if statement we test some condition, if the condition is true then a block of statements is executed otherwise not. Let's take an example :-
If(condition){ 
//body
 }

In the above syntax inside the brackets ( ) of if statement we will write our condition. If the condition is true then the statements written within the curly braces { } of if statement will execute otherwise not. We can write our condition using Arithmetic, Relational and Logical operators.

Else-if Condition 

When a piece of code needs to be evaluated based on several different conditions, the “if…else if…else” statement is used. While deciding between two options, the if-else statement is utilized to execute a segment of code. The “if…else if…else” statement is used, however, when we must choose amongst multiple possibilities. Although there is only one “if” and one “else” in this control framework, there can be several else-if blocks. Let's take an example :-
If(condition){ 
//body
 }else If(condition){ 
//body
 }else{
}

Else condition 

When the if & else-if statements  not satisfying the condition, then the solution given in else part is taken as Output or final solution. 
Let us take an example of else statement. 
If(condition){ 
//body
 }else If(condition){ 
//body
 }else{
//body
}

let's take an example of a program which gives the greater number between two given numbers :-

Code

#include<iostream>
using namespace std; 

int main( ){
int a, b; 
cin>>a>>b; 

if(a>b){ 
cout<<"a is greater";
 }
else If(a==b){ 
cout<<"both are equal ";
 }
else{
cout<<"b is greater ";
}
return 0;
}

Sorting Techniques : Selection Sort , Bubble Sort , Insertion Sort

Sorting Techniques 1. Selection Sort: Idea: The inner loop selects the minimum element in the unsorted array  and places the elements in increasing order. Time complexity: O(N 2 ) #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() {     int n;     cin>>n;   int arr[n];    for(int i=0;i<n;i++){          cin>>arr[i];   }  for(int i=0;i<n-1;i++){       for(int j=i+1;j<n;j++){            if(arr[j]<arr[i]){                 int temp =arr[j];                  arr[j]=arr[i];             arr[i]=temp;           }           }      }for(int i=0;i<n;i++){       cout<<arr[i]<<" ";    }   return 0; } 2.

Time and Space complexity : What does time and space complexity mean?

 Time and Space complexity                                  Time Complexity Time complexity of an algorithm quantifies the amount of time taken by an algorithm to run as a function of the length of the input. Types of notations 1. O-notation: It is used to denote asymptotic upper bound. For a given function g(n), we denote it by O(g(n)). Pronounced as “big-oh of g of n”. It also known as worst case time complexity as it denotes the upper bound in which algorithm terminates. 2. Ω-notation: It is used to denote asymptotic lower bound. For a given function g(n), we denote it by Ω(g(n)). Pronounced as “big-omega of g of n”. It also known as best case time complexity as it denotes the lower bound in which algorithm terminates. 3. !-notation: It is used to denote the average time of a program. Comparison of functions on the basis of time complexity It follows the following order in case of time complexit...
