if-else condition

It is similar to if condition but when the test expression in if condition fails, then statements in else condition are executed. Syntax :

if (condition)
    statements
    ...
    ...
else
    statements
    ...
    ...
end 
(endif can also be used)

Example : 

MATLAB




% initializing variables variable1 and variable2
variable1 = 20;
variable2 = 40;
 
% check the if condition
if variable1 == variable2,
 
% if the condition is true this statement will execute
disp('The variables are Equal');
 
% if the condition is false else statement will execute
else
disp('The variables are Not Equal');
  
%end the if-else statement
end;


Output:

The variables are Not Equal

Loops (For and While) and Control Statements in Octave

Control statements are expressions used to control the execution and flow of the program based on the conditions provided in the statements. These structures are used to make a decision after assessing the variable. In this article, we’ll discuss control statements like the if statement, for and while loops with examples.
