In computer programming, a conditional statement is executed based on the logical evaluation of it's components. For example, and If..Then...Else is considered a conditional statement: If X = 15 then {do something } ELSE {do something else) The "If X = 15" is the condition being checked. It HAS to be either TRUE or FALSE.
In a ladderized if-else conditional statement, multiple if-else blocks are used to check conditions in a hierarchical order. As soon as a condition is met, the corresponding block of code executes, and subsequent conditions are not checked. This approach helps streamline the logic flow and prevents unnecessary checks once a condition is satisfied.
The inverse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The converse of a conditional statement switches the hypothesis and conclusion. The contrapositive of a conditional statement switches and negates the hypothesis and conclusion.
A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
A conditional statement is indeed a statement that can be put in the form "if A, then B". The only time this conditional statement is false is when both A is true and also B is false.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_a_conditional_statement#ixzz1lda5tB6E
The part of a conditional statement that follows the word 'then' is the conclusion.
A conditional statement may or may not be true.
The former include repetition, the latter don't.

Given that an integer is the same as a whole number, there are four true conditional statements.

Unconditional statements are statements that are invoked unconditionally. Conditional statements have a controlling expression, while unconditional statements do not. For example: void f (bool b) { if (b==true) do_something(); // conditional statement (controlled by the expression b==true) do_something_else(); // unconditional (executes regardless of b's value) }
In conditional statements, the antecedent is the condition that must be met for the consequent to occur. The antecedent is like the "if" part of the statement, while the consequent is the "then" part that follows if the condition is satisfied.
