If statement

If X = 10 then print "X is equal to 10"

which could also be written as:

if ($x == 10) { print "X is equal to 10"; }

In the above example, if the X value was equal to 10, the program would display X is equal to 10. Note: the above example is a general example and does not apply to any programming language. See our conditional statement dictionary definition for additional information and some basic programming examples.
