Summary of "13 - if else conditions part 1 ( Mastering Dart 2024)"

In this lesson from the "Mastering Dart" course, the instructor explains the concept of conditional statements in Dart, specifically focusing on the if statement and its structure.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

Conditional if Statement:
- The if statement is used to execute a block of code based on whether a specified condition evaluates to true or false.
- Structure:
  - Write if, followed by parentheses containing the condition.
  - If the condition is true, the code inside the block will execute; if false, it will not execute.
Example of conditional logic:
- A variable age is defined and checked against a condition (e.g., whether age is greater than 18) to determine if a person can vote.
- If the condition is met (true), a message is printed indicating eligibility to vote; if not, no output is produced.
logical operators:
- The instructor introduces the and operator to combine multiple conditions.
- For example, checking if age is both greater than 18 and less than 70 to determine voting eligibility.
else Statement:
- The else statement can be used to execute a different block of code when the if condition is false.
- If the condition in the if statement is not met, the code inside the else block will run.
Execution Flow:
- The execution of code depends on the truth value of the condition:
  - If the condition evaluates to true, the if block executes.
  - If false, the else block executes, if present.
Encouragement for Practice:
- The instructor emphasizes the importance of practicing examples to solidify understanding of conditional statements.

Methodology/Instructions:

To use an if statement:
1. Define a condition within parentheses after the if keyword.
2. Write the code to execute if the condition is true within curly braces.
3. Optionally, add an else block to specify code to execute if the condition is false.
