A conditional expression is a statement that evaluates to either true or false based on the condition provided. It is commonly used in decision-making structures like if statements and loops.
Think of a conditional expression as a traffic light. When the light is green, it evaluates to true, allowing cars to move forward. When the light is red, it evaluates to false, stopping cars from moving.
Boolean: A boolean is a data type that can only have two values - true or false.
If Statement: An if statement is a control structure that executes a block of code only if a given condition is true.
Ternary Operator: The ternary operator allows you to write shorter versions of if-else statements by evaluating an expression based on a condition.
