Branching and Looping in C#, Part 1 - Nesting

(Page 3 of 6 )

Of course you can nest if statements as much as you want. Let's take a look:

using System;
namespace MyCompany 
{
  public class IfStatement
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Please type a number");
      int x = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
      if(x % 2 == 0)
      {
        if(x < 1000)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("this is an EVEN number");
        }
        else 
        {
          Console.WriteLine("this is a big EVEN number");
        } 
      }
      else
      {
        if(x < 1000)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("this is an ODD number");
        }
        else
        {
          Console.WriteLine("this is a big ODD number");
        } 
      }
      Console.ReadLine(); 
    }
  }
}

As you can see, I have added nested if statements to test if the number is greater than or less than 1000, and I print to the console a line in each case. One thing to note about VS.NET is its indentation scheme:

You can tell that there's only one top level if statement associated with an else statement, and each statement has a nested if statement, too. VS.NET will indent if statements automatically.
