Write a multiple-alternative if statement equivalent to the switch statement described in question 1.

A character is stored in memory in one byte according to a specific encoding. Many machines use ASCII character codes. A character is considered to have the integer value corresponding to its ASCII encoding. Nonprintable control characters also have ASCII values. For example:

if (intVal == 8)

     cout << "backspace" << endl;

else if (intVal == 9)

     cout << "tab" << endl;

else if (intVal == 10)

     cout << "newline" << endl;

else if (intVal == 12)

     cout << "formfeed" << endl;

else if (intVal == 13)

     cout << "carriage return" << endl;

else

     cout << "unknown character" << endl;
