What Are Conditional Statements?

Definition

A conditional statement is a Boolean expression that, if True, executes a piece of code. It allows programs to branch out into different paths based on whether the Boolean expression evaluates to True or False. We encounter such scenarios frequently in real life. For example, if a student's marks are greater than 50%, the teacher would pass the student in their class, else the student would be asked to repeat the course. The code example below demonstrates the scenario programmatically.
