Nested if

The if and if ... else statements can be nested to accomplish a more complex decision making logic. Nested if statements are formed by writing if and if ... else statements inside other if and if ... else statements.

Here is an example

if (condition1) {
	if (condition2) {
  		statement_block1;
	}
	else {
 		statement_block2;
	}
	statement3;
}
else {
     	if (condition3) statement4;
}

The flowchart of the above nested if statements is as below

Example

Below is a program that finds the smallest of three numbers.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() 
{
int a,b,c;

printf("Enter three numbers \\n");
scanf("%d%d%d", &a,&b,&c);

if (a < b) {
	if (a < c) {
		printf("%d is the smallest",a);
	}
	else {
		printf("%d  is the smallest",c);
	}
}
else {
	if (b < c) printf("%d  is the smallest",b);
	else printf("%d  is the smallest",c);
}
return 0;
}
