conditional proof

Conditional proof is a logical reasoning method used to show that if one statement (the "if" part) is true, then another statement (the "then" part) must also be true. It involves temporarily assuming the first statement as true, then working through the logic to see if the second statement necessarily follows. If it does, you can then confidently state that "if the first is true, then the second is true." This technique helps in constructing or verifying logical arguments, especially when demonstrating that one condition guarantees another.
