Conditionals in Logic

Conditionals in logic are statements that express a relationship between two events or propositions, typically in the form "If A, then B." Here, A is the condition, and B is the outcome that depends on A being true. For example, "If it rains, then the ground will be wet." The statement asserts that the wet ground will only occur if it rains. This logical structure helps us understand causality and predict outcomes based on certain conditions, forming the basis for much of reasoning in arguments, scientific hypotheses, and everyday decision-making.
