A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
The conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse is known as a biconditional statement. It states that the original statement and its converse are both true.
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.
