7. MAKING DECISIONS
The IF statement tells the computer that it has to make a decision. It does this by comparing
two numbers, arithmetic expressions or string variables. It uses special symbols to represent
a condition.
The symbol > means greater than.
The symbol < means less than.
The symbol = means equal to.
The symbol > = means greater than or equal to.
The symbol < = means less than or equal to
Here are some conditions:
5 < 10 20 > 10
They are both true because
5 is less than 10
20 is greater than 10
