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.

The IF part of a conditional statement sets the condition or criteria that needs to be met for the subsequent action to occur. It is the part that is evaluated as either true or false, determining the flow of the statement.
A biconditional is the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse.
Conditional statements are used in programming to make decisions based on certain conditions. They allow the program to execute different code blocks depending on whether a condition is true or false. Common conditional statements include if, else, and else if.
The part of a conditional statement that follows the word 'then' is the conclusion.
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.
by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.

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.

a condtional statement may be true or false but only in one direction a biconditional statement is true in both directions
A conditional statement uses the words if... Then
Another name for that is the conditional statement.
If a conditional statement is true, then so is its contrapositive. (And if its contrapositive is not true, then the statement is not true).
In computer science, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructsare features of a programming language which perform different computations or actions depending on whether a programmer-specified boolean condition evaluates to true or false.
