Practicing with conditionals
conditionals can test the validity of a desired statement, and are created by the user. If the specified requirements are met the argument is true and displays a message,
if false the computer will display an alternate message depending on the number of outcomes a given conditional has.
these can be used in functions to test if things are greater than one another.
x is greater than y
x is less then y
x is equal to y
the same thing can be achieved with cases, which in some scenarios can be much neater and easier to follow than an if/else statement.
a is greater than b
