A conditional statement would be something that carries out an action depending on some criteria. The main example is the IF function and some of its other related functions, like SUMIF or COUNTIF. A simple example often given is getting a spreadsheet to say "Pass" or "Fail" based on a score someone has got in an exam. So, say you have the exam score in cell A1 and you want to display their result in A2, based on 40% being the pass mark, this formula would be entered in A2:

=IF(A1>=40%,"Pass","Fail")

If the score is 40% or more it will display "Pass", otherwise it displays "Fail". If you then try different values in A1, the text in A2 will change accordingly.

Does conditional statement consists of counter example?

A conditional statement typically has the form "If P, then Q." A counterexample is a specific instance where P is true but Q is false, thereby disproving the conditional statement. Therefore, while a conditional statement does not inherently consist of counterexamples, a counterexample serves to challenge or refute the validity of a given conditional statement.
