== Conditional Control Structures ==
'''Definition'''

Conditional control structures allow you to make decisions within a program by evaluating a condition and executing different blocks of code based on whether the condition is true or false.

'''If-Else Statements'''

The if-else statement is one of the most common conditional control structures. It evaluates a condition and executes specific code blocks based on the result.

'''Code Example'''

Here's an example in Python that demonstrates the usage of if-else statements:

<pre>
# Conditional control structure
age = 18

# If-else statement
if age >= 18:
    print("You are an adult.")
else:
    print("You are a minor.")
</pre>

In this example, we use an if-else statement to check if the `age` variable is greater than or equal to 18. If the condition is true, the program will output `"You are an adult."` Otherwise, it will output `"You are a minor."`.
