I meant else if and not if else.

I meant else if and not if else.

if( g() == -1 ) {
/* ... */
} else if( h() == -1) {
/* ... */
}

Both g and h write to stdout, but h will be called ONLY if g returns
-1.

I meant else if and not if else.

Let's write something that more closely resembles legal C code:

A:
if (condition1) { statements1;}
if (condition2) { statements2;}

B:
if(condition1) {statement1;}
else if(condition2) {statements2;}

To keep this simple, I'm using statements1 and statments to each
represent a series of statements that doesn't include a return
statement, and doesn't directly or indirectly call exit(), abort(), or
longjmp().

The difference between A: and B: is that in A:, condition2 is evaluated
regardless of what condition1 is; in B:, condition2 is evaluated only if
condition1 compares equal to 0. In A:, statements2 are always executed
if condition2 does not compare equal to 0, regardless of what condition1
is. In B:, statements2 are only executed if condition1 compares equal to
0 and condition two does not compare equal to 0.

The relationship between "if" and "else" is
not usually described in terms of differences and similarities.
An else statement can only occur
imediately following an if statement.
The else statement is executed if and only if
the condition for the preceding if statement evaluates to zero.

This isn't a C question, its a simple logic question. Why not think the
logic through, instead of sitting with your brain in neutral?

I meant else if and not if else.

if( g() == -1 ) {
/* ... */
} else if( h() == -1) {
/* ... */
}

Both g and h write to stdout, but h will be called ONLY if g returns
-1.

Only if g does not return -1.
