logicconditions

Logicconditions are expressions that evaluate to true or false. They are foundational in formal logic, computer science, and data processing, where they represent decisions, filters, and constraints. In mathematics, a condition is a proposition; in predicate logic, it may involve relations, functions, and quantifiers over objects.

In programming, logicconditions control flow through statements such as if, while, and ternary expressions. Operators commonly include equality and inequality, comparison, membership tests, and the logical connectives and, or, and not. Most languages use short-circuit evaluation for boolean operators, so the evaluation of a subexpression can be skipped once the overall result is known. Operator precedence and parentheses determine grouping, and many languages define truthiness for values that are not strictly true or false, such as zero, empty strings, or null.

Applications of logicconditions include controlling program behavior, filtering data in queries, validating input, and driving rules in decision engines. Example in code: if (x > 10 && y != 0) { … } or, in SQL, WHERE age > 18 AND status = 'active'. In formal logic, logicconditions are manipulated with logical laws to derive new truths, simplify expressions, or prove equivalences.
