If/Else statements

This is a discussion on If/Else statements within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; I apologize if this sounds silly, as I'm completely new to programming.
My question is is that are you not ...

Thank you for the help! I did a math problem using an 'if' and an 'else' clause. After that I wanted to calculate a separate entity that is dependent on the original math problem, so I tried using an 'if' clause after the 'else' clause of the math problem, but it ignored my 'if' statement. So are you saying that if I use an 'else if' clause for the separate entity it will work?

The one thing that we can guarantee is that it did not "ignore your if statement". If you put the if statement inside the else clause, then naturally it will only happen when the else clause happens. If the test of the if statement isn't true, then nothing will happen unless you provide an else to go with it. You should post your code to show what you mean.
