## Logical Reasoning II: Conditionals and Truth Values **What is a Conditional Statement?** A conditional statement is a logical expression of the form 'If $p$, then $q$', written as $p \implies q$. It is false only when $p$ is true and $q$ is false. **Key Points** 1. **Conditional ($p \implies q$):** False only when $T \implies F$. 2. **Biconditional ($p \iff q$):** True when $p$ and $q$ have the [Preview only]
