So you've read through the Introduction to Programming, and you understand the basics of programming, but before you jump into the depths of learning various language syntax rules, there are even more basics that apply to every programming and scripting language. If program code is nothing more than a set of instructions, how does the computer make decisions? A large portion of computer code is contained within logical or conditional statements, and are only executed when certain situations arise.
