Control Flow

if/else Statements

Master conditional statements, logical operators, and control flow patterns.

Comparison Operators

a < b : Less than
a > b : Greater than
a == b : Equal to
a != b : Not equal to

Ternary Operator

variable = (condition) ? true : false;

Switch Statement

Switch is a control structure that chooses one code path based on an integer-like value. When cases are dense numbers (1,2,3...), the compiler builds a jump table for instant O(1) lookup.

switch (age) {
    case 0 ... 4:   // GCC extension
        cout << "Free";
        break;
    default:
        cout << "Paid";
}

Range syntax (0 ... 4) is a GCC extension.
