    i know i am doing wrong thing... :(
    i dont have that much time...
    its not like i dint try... i tried a lot but then also i was uable to remove those errors... even i knew that there are errors because of improper use of nested if...
    if i get the correct code then i know i"ll be able to grasp it....

    so please do me favour nah!!

  • What part of the sentence: "sit on your butt and do your homework" don't you understand?
    How can actually learn something if others do it for you?
    Time is of little significance where you are at. You may have _people's_ lives in your (not)able hands one day - did you think of that? Who will do your "homework" them?!

    It does not discuss nested if, but if with multiple else. There can not be two "else" to one "if".

    With proper indentation, it should be instantly visible that every else have a "if" with same indentation abit higher up. If there instead is another "else", then you have stumbled, and the compiler will cry.

    Programming languages are no different from normal languages. You have "if xx then yy else zz". Not "if xx then yy else zz else ww". Because this variant would not have any rule to separate either zz or ww that "else" can't be logically processed.

    Proper indentation (many styles exists and are just a question of preference unless you work for a company with official guidlines) is not really optional. Everything written should follow the same indentation rules. Then you will quickly learn to see unbalanced code without even reading the text. There is a huge reason why all modern programming languages are designed to allow white space to be used to "shape" the text lines, letting the text lines create a graphical pattern that we can see without zooming in our concentration on the actual characters and keywords.

    You have lack of time. How many hours did you spend on this issue yesterday? Or the day before? I'm pretty sure the teacher gave you all a reasonable amount of time for the project. But with a fixed deadline, it doesn't work to stop and wait for others to supply answers. That is just hours eating away towards that deadline. Real tasks requiers real hours spent before that deadline. Real hours builds real experience. And real experience is what you need to get through the courses. And what you need to be able to get someone to pay you if you have any intention of developing software professionally.

  • Proper indentation (many styles exists and are just a question of preference unless you work for a company with official guidlines) is not really optional. Everything written should follow the same indentation rules.

    the bane of proper indentation is right there on your keyboard labelled 'tab'

    use spaces!

  • any decent editor will have a button "convert tabs to spaces"

  • Then you need to speak to your teacher, and request extra time!
    He/she will, of course, expect you to give a very good reason for the extension...

    "i tried a lot but then also i was uable to remove those errors"

    Then, again, you need to speak to your teacher - that's the correct place to go when you're stuck with your homework!

    i agree!! i"ll try again...........:)

    hi!!
    tell me exact syntax for if with multiple else.. with using goto...
    as u said i changed some sentences... but its giving me same errors...:((

    please explain me with some example... you are my teacher now!!

  • tell me exact syntax for if with multiple else.. with using goto...

    I'd like to see how you do that too ;)

  • There are no syntax for if with multiple else. There can only be zero or one else statement for every if statement. As I already mentioned, it is a logical impossibility to know which of multiple else to use if there isn't an "if" statement with a logical expression that performs the select of which of the two alternatives to use.

    In some situations, it is possible to use a "computed goto".

    One implementation of that is the switch statement in C.

    Another implementation (better suited for processor architectures that doesn't suffer huge costs from indirect memory accesses) is tables with function pointers.

    But your code is not a situation for any computed goto. You do not have a "one-out-of-ten" problem. You have a sequential problem. Each action can potentially trig a following action.

    If A fails, we are done. Else we do B. If B fails we are done, else we do C.

    This is a trivial problem that can be seen as having a number of postit notes and move around them until you get the most "beautiful" structure.

    Note that the outcome of nested if/else can change drastically depending on if you favour the "if" part or the "else" part. Is it the "if" part that represents a failure? Or the "else" part?

    A slightly naughty method for multiple error exits is the abuse of a loop:

    do {
        if (!do_a()) break;
        if (!do_b()) break;
        ...
        if (!do_z()) break;
        // wow - we managed everything.
        return good_result;
    } while (0);
    // ouch - something went bad
    do_error_recovery();
    return bad_result;
    

    But no - your problem is not a problem that should make use of the above code. Your teacher would probably give you a long speech if you try that route.

    So why not just consider the following?

    if (xx) {
        do_a();
    } else if (yy) {
        do_b();
    } else if (zz) {
        do_c();
    }
    

    By the way - several days later. Aren't your deadline up yet? This is not a tough problem. It's rather easy. And there are a number of acceptable solutions. But "break" and "goto" should not be needed or used for this problem.

    now its showing me 5 errors...
    '(' expected instead '{' near 1st else if statement..
    and remaining syntax errors are as it is... :( :( (

    even better, get a C book e.g. Kochan "programming in ANSI C" and learn C on the PC. C51 is not a good learning platform.

  • The goto statements are still there.

    But now you have "introduced" a new version of C syntax:

        ...
    }
    else if        <= if what?
    {
        cmd_lcd(0x01);
        ...
    }
    


    Have you ever seen any text book describing any if statement that doesn't have a conditional expression? Exactly what would an "if" statement do, if you don't give it a condition?

  • Absolutely!

    You have basic 'C' syntax errors - you need to go back to your 'C' textbook, and your 'C' class notes, and study them carefully!!
