C++ Coding Exercises - Conditional Structures

Practice C++ programming with coding exercises covering variables, data types, operators, input and output, type casting, conditional statements, loops, functions, arrays, and other C++ fundamentals.

if Statements

Problem Statement 1: Positive, Negative or Zero - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes a number as input and checks whether it is positive, negative, or zero. Display the appropriate message based on the entered number.

Hint: Use an if-else-if ladder.

Problem Statement 2: Check Even or Odd - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes an integer as input and determines whether it is even or odd. Display an appropriate message based on the result.

Hint: Use the modulus operator (%) to check the remainder when the number is divided by 2.

Problem Statement 3: Check Eligibility Based on Marks - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes a student’s marks as input. If the marks are 50 or above, display “Eligible”; otherwise, display “Not Eligible”.

Hint: Use an if-else statement to check the marks.

Problem Statement 4: Student Grade Calculator - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes a student’s marks as input and displays the corresponding grade according to the following criteria:

• A: 80–100 marks
• B: 70–79 marks
• C: 60–69 marks
• D: 50–59 marks
• Fail: Below 50 marks

If the entered marks are less than 0 or greater than 100, display “Invalid Marks”.

Hint: Use an if-else-if ladder to check the marks and assign the appropriate grade. First, validate that the marks are between 0 and 100.

Problem Statement 5: Find the Larger Number - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes two numbers as input and compares them. Display the larger number. If both numbers are equal, display “Both numbers are equal.”

Hint: Use an if-else-if ladder to compare the two numbers and handle all three possible cases.

Problem Statement 6: Login Authentication System - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes two inputs: a user verification flag and a password verification flag. Display “Login Successful” only if both flags indicate that the username and password are correct. Otherwise, display “Login Failed”.

Hint: Use nested if statements to check the user verification flag first and then the password verification flag.

Problem Statement 7: Scholarship Eligibility Checker - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes a student’s marks and family monthly income as input. The student is eligible for a scholarship only if both of the following conditions are met:

• The student’s marks are 80 or above.
• The family’s monthly income is below Rs. 60,000.

Display “Scholarship Awarded” if the student meets both conditions. Otherwise, display “Not Eligible for Scholarship”.

Hint: Use nested if statements to check the marks first and then the family income.

Problem Statement 8: Student Registration Eligibility - if statement

Write a C++ program that takes three inputs to check whether a student can register:

• Admission Status: Admission is confirmed.
• Fee Status: Required fee has been paid.
• Document Verification Status: All required documents have been verified.

Display “Registration Allowed” only if all three requirements are satisfied. Otherwise, display “Registration Not Allowed”.

Hint: Use nested if statements with appropriate else branches to check each requirement one by one.

Problem Statement 12: Library Account Status (! — NOT)

Problem Statement

Write a C++ program to determine whether a student’s library account is active or blocked. Use a Boolean variable named isBlocked to indicate whether the student’s account has been blocked.

Requirements

1. Declare a Boolean variable named isBlocked.
2. Assign true if the account is blocked and false if the account is not blocked.
3. Use the logical NOT operator (!) in an if-else statement to check the account status.
4. Display Account active if the account is not blocked; otherwise, display Account blocked.
5. Test the program with both true and false values.

Problem Statement 13: University Admission Eligibility (&& and || — Mixed Operators)

Problem Statement

2. Use the logical AND (&&) and OR (||) operators together in an if-else statement.
3. Display Eligible for admission if the student scores at least 60 marks and either has a valid entry test result or an approved exemption.
4. Otherwise, display Not eligible.
5. Test at least four combinations, including:
   • Marks below 60 with a valid entry test result.
   • Marks of 60 or above with a valid entry test result.
   • Marks of 60 or above with an approved exemption but no valid entry test result.
   • Marks of 60 or above with neither a valid entry test result nor an approved exemption.

switch Statement

Problem Statement 14: Day Type Checker Using switch

Write a C++ program that asks the user to enter a day number from 1 to 7. Use a switch statement to determine whether the entered day is a Weekday or a Weekend.

Write a C++ program that asks the user to enter two numbers of type double and an arithmetic operator (+, -, *, /, or %). Use a switch statement to perform the selected arithmetic operation and display the result.

Requirements

• If the operator is +, add the two numbers.
• If the operator is -, subtract the second number from the first.
• If the operator is *, multiply the two numbers.
• If the operator is /, divide the first number by the second. If the second number is zero, display Cannot divide by zero.
• If the operator is %, convert both numbers to integers and calculate the remainder. If the converted second number is zero, display Cannot calculate remainder by zero.
• If the user enters an invalid operator, display Invalid operator.

Example Output 1: Addition

Enter first number: 10.5
Enter operator (+, -, *, /, %): +
Enter second number: 5.2
Result = 15.7

Example Output 2: Decimal Division

Enter first number: 10
Enter operator (+, -, *, /, %): /
Enter second number: 4
