Conditional Statement
In this lesson, you will be introduced to conditional statement.
We'll cover the following
Introduction
As the name implies, conditional statements specify whether another statement or block of statements should be executed or not. These are often called “selection constructs”. The two general types are:
- “if-then-else”
- the “switch-case” construct
Comparison operators
The conditions tested are specified using comparison operators. These operators cause the immediate statement in which they are contained to return a Boolean value of either true
or false
.
Note: In certain circumstances,
true
andfalse
may be assigned to1
and0
, respectively. So, be careful while combining conditional statements with arithmetic.
