Conditions let your program make decisions.

Basic if statement

$score = 75;

if ($score >= 50) {
  echo "You passed!";
}

if...else

if ($score >= 50) {
  echo "Pass";
} else {
  echo "Fail";
}

if...elseif...else

if ($score >= 90) {
  echo "Grade A";
} elseif ($score >= 70) {
  echo "Grade B";
} else {
  echo "Grade C";
}

Ternary operator

$result = ($score >= 50) ? "Pass" : "Fail";
