multiple if statements in c for beginners

Question

code is following:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void main(void)
{
int a, b;
printf("enter a");
scanf("%d",&a);
printf("enter b");
scanf("%d",&b);
if(a==1 && b<=8)
{
    printf("you");

i edit again my question i found solution check please if there any syntax error.

Are you sure the code you have posted compiles? there is a mess with the else. — Yuval Ben-Arie, Jul 23 '17 at 12:39
Use `if else` instead of `if` for the second `if`.Also i am wondering how you are going to identify which `if` printed `you`? — Gaurav Sehgal, Jul 23 '17 at 12:40
Please read a good beginners book. C and C++ are two separate languages, `iostream.h` is not part of the C standard (and using `conio.h` is highly discouraged) and `void main(void)` isn't standard in either language — UnholySheep, Jul 23 '17 at 12:42
The C++ books are [listed here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list). — Ron, Jul 23 '17 at 12:44
Don't use Turbo C++ or another ancient compiler that still supports `#include `. — , Jul 23 '17 at 12:51

You are not following general if-else block property

if(a==1 && b<=8)  // This is independent if 1
{
    printf("you");
}

Then this is another if-else either of if or else in this block will get executed independently of what has previously happened

if(a==2 && 5<b && b<=10)   //  This is independent if-else block 2
{
    printf("you");
}
else
    printf("me");

For achieving what you want it should be if, else if and else block

if(a==1 && b<=8)
{
    printf("you");
}
else if(a==2 && 5<b && b<=10)
{
    printf("you");
}
else
    printf("me");
