Learn and Master C Programming - If...else...Code Example: Checking high blood pressure readings

This video tutorial covers the creation of a function to check blood pressure categories based on systolic and diastolic values. It explains the different blood pressure categories, such as normal, prehypertension, stage one, stage two, and crisis. The tutorial demonstrates how to implement this function in code using if statements and tests the function with various inputs. Advanced coding techniques, including nested if statements, are also explored to enhance the function's logic.

What is the purpose of the function discussed in the video?

• To diagnose heart diseases

• To categorize blood pressure readings

• To measure heart rate

• To calculate the average blood pressure

Which blood pressure category is defined by a systolic reading less than 120 and a diastolic reading less than 80?

• Stage One Hypertension

• Crisis

• Normal

• Prehypertension

What is the significance of using comments in the code?

• To increase the complexity of the code

• To provide explanations and improve readability

• To make the code run faster

• To reduce the size of the code

What is the condition for a blood pressure reading to be considered a crisis?

• Systolic between 140 and 159

• Systolic less than 120

• Systolic over 180 or diastolic over 110

• Diastolic between 80 and 89

What is the purpose of testing the function with different blood pressure readings?

• To reduce the number of lines in the code

• To increase the speed of the function

• To ensure the function categorizes readings correctly

• To make the code more complex

What is a nested conditional statement?

• A statement that runs multiple times

• A conditional statement inside another conditional statement

• A statement that always returns true

• A statement that is ignored by the compiler

Why is it important to test for crisis mode in blood pressure readings?

• To identify life-threatening conditions

• To reduce the number of lines in the code

• To ensure the function runs faster

• To make the code more readable
