All programming languages provide conditional statements in order to change the flow of the programs according to given conditions. If statement is most popular conditional statement provided very similar most of the programming languages. If statements provide single or most flow path according to given conditions like count, size, text, etc.

General If Statement Syntax

As stated previously If statement for different programming languages has very similar syntax. Below is the generic syntax which is used in If statement.

if (CONDITION){
   CODE
}
elseif(CONDITION){

   CODE
}

• `if` is used for the start of the statement
