What are the different types of conditional statements supported by C#?


The conditional statement requires the programmer to specify one or more conditions to be evaluated or tested by the program, along with a statement or statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be true, and optionally, other statements to be executed if the condition is determined to be false.

The following are the types of conditional statements −

Sr.NoStatement & Description
1if statement
An if statement consists of a boolean expression followed by one or more statements.
2if...else statement
An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the boolean expression is false.
3nested if statements
You can use one if or else if statement inside another if or else ifstatement(s).
4switch statement
A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values.
5nested switch statements
You can use one switch statement inside another switchstatement(s).

Let us see an example of nested switch statement in C# −

switch (a) {
   case 100:
   Console.WriteLine("This is part of outer switch ");

   switch (b) {
      case 200:
      Console.WriteLine("This is part of inner switch ");
      break;
   }
   break;
}
