Conditionals ?
First of all, before we talk about what conditionals let's break it down to the word (condition).

### What is a Condition ?

A condition is to have a significant influence on or determine (the manner or outcome of something).

### What are Conditionals ?

Conditional control behavior in JavaScript and determine whether or not pieces of code can run. There are different types of conditionals in JavaScript including: “If” statements. Conditionals are expressions that evaluate to either true or false. 

### What are they used for ?

They tell you whether the code you put in is true or it is false.

**Examples : **

```
let number = 9;
 if(number === 5){
     console.log(5)
     
 }
 else{
     console.log('number is not equal to 5')
 }
```
basically this code says let the number equal to 9, then it says if the number is 5 ( they use 3 equal to, to show that you know and sure it is equal to this) console.log 5 (print 5)
else print number is not equal to 5.

this is going to print

```
number is not equal to 5

```
### Why are Conditionals important ?

Conditional statements help mathematicians and computer programmers make decisions based on the state of a situation.
