Question

I know the syntax for writing a case break statement, but I’m wondering if this is allowed:

CODE:

    case 'p':
    {
    printf("Give number: ");
    scanf("%d, &int_1);
    if int_1=5;{
    printf("Played: you win");
    }
    break;
    }

Basically I’m just wondering if this is something that’s possible to do, I know the code is incomplete but I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to elicit specific answers. I simply seek a better understanding of applying conditionals to my programs. Thank you.

EDIT: Other than in the tags, I didn’t specify so just in case this isn’t clear, this is in C.

Answer 1

The short answer is yes, you can nest an if inside of swtich/case statement (or vice versa). If you want to badly enough, you could have a loop containing a switch containing several ifs, etc.

Bottom line: the limit on nesting various kinds of statements is normally imposed by such considerations as taste and readability, not limitations built into the language.
