    If-then statement

    When we previously discussed inductive reasoning we based our reasoning on examples and on data from earlier events. If we instead use facts, rules and definitions then it's called deductive reasoning.

    We will explain this by using an example.

    If you get good grades then you will get into a good college.

    The part after the "if": you get good grades - is called a hypotheses and the part after the "then" - you will get into a good college - is called a conclusion.

    Hypotheses followed by a conclusion is called an If-then statement or a conditional statement.

    This is noted as

    p→q

    This is read - if p then q.

    A conditional statement is false if hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. The example above would be false if it said "if you get good grades then you will not get into a good college".

    If we re-arrange a conditional statement or change parts of it then we have what is called a related conditional.
