Here is a correct multiway if-else<\/code> statement in C++ (also applicable in C or Java with minor adjustments) that classifies an integer variable n<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#include <iostream>\nusing namespace std;\n\nint main() {\n    int n;\n    cout << \"Enter a number: \";\n    cin >> n;\n\n    if (n < 0) {\n        cout << \"The number is less than 0.\" << endl;\n    } else if (n >= 0 && n <= 100) {\n        cout << \"The number is between 0 and 100 (inclusive).\" << endl;\n    } else {\n        cout << \"The number is greater than 100.\" << endl;\n    }\n\n    return 0;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Explanation (Approx. 300 words):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In programming, especially when using decision-making structures, a multiway if-else<\/code> statement<\/strong> is used to handle multiple conditions based on the value of a variable. In this case, we want to classify the value of an integer variable n<\/code> into one of three distinct categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Less than 0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Between 0 and 100 inclusive<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Greater than 100<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    The program begins by prompting the user to enter a value for n<\/code>. Using the cin<\/code> statement in C++, we capture this input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The first if<\/code> condition checks if n < 0<\/code>. If this condition is true, the program executes the block under this condition and outputs “The number is less than 0.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If the condition n < 0<\/code> is false, the program checks the next condition with else if (n >= 0 && n <= 100)<\/code>. This condition verifies if n<\/code> is in the range from 0 to 100, including both endpoints. If this condition holds true, the message “The number is between 0 and 100 (inclusive)” is printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Finally, if neither the first nor the second conditions are true (meaning n<\/code> must be greater than 100), the else<\/code> block is executed. It prints “The number is greater than 100.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This approach ensures that only one of the three conditions will be executed, thanks to the mutually exclusive nature of the checks. This is a clear and efficient way to categorize numeric data using a multiway if-else<\/code> structu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
