What are if statements?

Can you explain what if statements are in programming?

Sure! If statements are conditional statements that execute a block of code based on whether a condition is true or false.

Can you give me an example of an if statement?

Of course! In Python, it looks like this: if x > 10: followed by an indented block of code that runs if the condition is true.

What happens if the condition is false?

If the condition is false, the code inside the if block is skipped, and you can use an else statement to define an alternative action.

Are there other types of conditional statements?

Yes, there are else if (or elif in Python) statements that allow you to check multiple conditions.
