Suppose that you want to execute more than one statement when an
if
or if-else
statement's Boolean expression is
true or not true. You need only to combine the multiple
statements, using braces, into a single compound
statement.
{ statement 1 ... statement n }
In the following if-else
statement, for example, you not
only want to display a message when the value of temperature
is above 50°F, but also want to assign 1
to a
suitable variable so as to record that the temperature has gone
above the threshold of 50°F:
if (temperature > 50) { high_temperature_switch = 1; cout << "It is too warm! High temperature switch set to " << high_temperature_switch << endl; }
