Conditional statement

when two statements are combined by
placing the word “if” before the first
statement and “then” before the second
statement is called conditional statement

 eg.   If Mr. A work hard then he will pass.
Conditional statement

 We use the arrow → or horseshoe      to
 represent the “if-then” phrase

 Also   called a hypothetical statement
Components of conditional
statement
There are two components of conditional
statement
o The component statement that follows
  the “if” is called the antecedent
o The component statement that follows
  the “then” is called the consequent
o If (antecedent), then (consequent)
Conditional Statement
A  conditional statement does not assert
 that the antecedent is necessarily true. It
 only asserts that if the antecedent is
 true, then the consequent is true. And a
 conditional statement does not assert
 that the consequent is necessarily true. It
 asserts that the consequent is true only if
 the antecedent is true.
Material
Implication
Material implication

A conditional statement describes a
relationship between the antecedent and
the consequent. This relationship is called
"material implication"

Denoted by: “=>” or
For Example
   If you study hard, then you will pass.



      Antecedent              Consequent



                        =>
      If    p,         then       q.
Material implication

Then the relationship of material implication
between p and q is symbolized as p => q+
and is read “p implies q”.
Truth Table
p                      Q                    P => q

T                      T                    T

T                      F                    F

F                      T                    T

F                      F                    T


“p => q” is false if antecedent p is true
and consequent q is false; otherwise,
true.
Logical Implication
 The consequent follows logically from its
  antecedent

 If
   all humans are mortal and Socrates is a
  human, then Socrates is mortal.
Definitional Implication
 The consequent follows the antecedent
  by definition

 If
   Leslie is a bachelor, then Leslie is
  unmarried.
Causal Implication
 Theconnection between antecedent
  and consequent is discovered empirically

 If   I put X in acid, then X will turn red.
Decisional Implication
 No logical connection nor one by
  definition between the consequent and
  antecedent. This is a decision of the
  speaker to behave in the specified way
  under the specified circumstances.

 Is   we lose the game, then I’ll eat my hat.
Thank you
