Can I use the if else statement to classify garment?

I am trying to find for a method to classify the classes of the garment(e.g:tops, pants,dress,skirts). Can I use the if else statement to do the classification?Hope to hear from your reply soon.Thanks

You can very much use......you need to read about strcmp, strcmpi etc.

Can you explain it in detail? I can take what to make the if else

How your data is? What classification you want to do? More details needed for this.

I am going to assume your classifications are strings. As such, you can use strcmp() or any of its related functions, as such:

 if strcmp(garment,'pants')
     % Do something
 end

Alternatively, you might be interested in a switch statement:

 switch garment
     case 'top'
          % Do Something
     case 'pants'
          % Do Something
     case 'dress'
          % Do Something
     otherwise
          % Do Something (this case is optional)
 end

It sounds like your use might be a little more involved though, such as being a structure or something. Both of the above would still apply. Just use strcmp(garment.color,'Red') or switch garment.texture, whatever fits your needs.
