Another way to express branching, mutually exclusive tests, is with the switch case statement.

switch case

Each test will proceed to the next one until a true test is encountered. When a true test is found, its associated block of code is run, and the program then skips to the line following the entire if/else construction. If no test proves to be true, the default else block is executed, if one is present, and sets the default behavior.

Note that an else if block may be used with or without a terminating else block and vice versa. An unlimited number of such else if branches is allowed.

Coding Note: When using an if/else construction, ending the construction with an else block is a handy way to set a default behavior if one is desired.

else can proceed another if test, so that multiple, mutually exclusive tests can be run at the same time.

if/else allows greater control over the flow of code than the basic if statement, by allowing multiple tests to be grouped together. For example, an analog input could be tested and one action taken if the input was less than 500, and another action taken if the input was 500 or greater. The code would look like this:

  // action A

  // action B

  // do Thing A

  // do Thing B

  // do Thing A

  // do Thing B

  // do Thing C

if/else

if/else

if/else gives you greater control over the flow of your code than the basic if statement, by allowing you to group multiple tests together. For instance, if you wanted to test an analog input, and do one thing if the input was less than 500, and another thing if the input was 500 or greater, you would write that this way:

}@]

else can proceed another if test, so that multiple, mutually exclusive tests can be run at the same time:

if (pinFiveInput < 500)
{
  # do Thing A
}
else if (pinFiveInput >= 1000)
{
  # do Thing B
}
else
{
  # do thing C
}

You can have an unlimited nuber of such branches. (Another way to express branching, mutually exclusive tests is with the switch case statement.

Coding Note: If you are using if/else, and you want to make sure that some default action is always taken, it is a good idea to end your tests with an else statement set to your desired default behavior.
