if loop

[fsl123]

HI All,

the syntax of "if loop in C" is

if (Condition)
{
statements;
}

but this if loop terminated by a NULL statement( ; ) also works..
if (Condition)
{
statements;
};

CAn anybody explains me the exact reason for how this works?

First, the if statement is not a loop, it's a conditional statement. Loops are "do",
"while" and "for" statemens.

C also has an empty statement, terminated by a semicolon. And that's what
you have: an if statement followed by an empty statement.

kind regards,
