Consequent

In logic, a "consequent" is the second part of a conditional statement, which describes what happens or is true if the first part (the "antecedent") is true. For example, in "If it rains, then the ground gets wet," the "ground gets wet" is the consequent. It depends on the antecedent happening first. Think of it as the result or outcome that follows from a specific condition being met. The consequent is essential for understanding the relationship between cause and effect within logical reasoning.
