What Is a Conditional?

Learning goal

Control program flow using conditional logic.

Read one card at a time. Focus on the main idea first, then look at the visual on the right to help it stick.

Conditionals let programs make decisions.

Code runs only when a condition is true.

Conditions are based on Boolean expressions.

This mirrors real-world decision-making.

Conditionals are a core building block of most programs.

Conditionals are how programs choose different actions in different situations.
