logical implication

Logical implication is a relationship between two statements where, if the first statement (called the antecedent) is true, then the second statement (called the consequent) must also be true. It's like a guarantee: the truth of the first ensures the truth of the second. For example, "If it rains, then the ground gets wet." Here, the statement "it rains" implies "the ground gets wet." However, if the first statement is false, the implication doesn't necessarily tell us anything about the second. Logical implication focuses on the dependency of one statement's truth on another.
