Conditional statements in apex

Conditional statements in Apex allow developers to control the flow of code based on specific conditions. These are runtime decision-making statements that determine what actions should be taken in a given situation.

The following is an example of an if-else conditional check in apex.

In the above example:

The integer variable age is initialized with a value of 12.
The if statement is used to check if the age is greater than or equal to 18 and prints a message "You are eligible to vote." in the debug logs.
The else is executed if the condition in the if statement does not evaluate to true and prints a message "You are not eligible to vote." in the debug logs.

Note

The if statement requires a condition that evaluates to true in order to execute the block of code within it.
