Conditional Statements
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Conditional | An if-then statement that relates a hypothesis, the part that follows if, to a conclusion, the part that follows then. (P->Q) |
| Converse | The CONVERSE reverses the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional. (Q->P) |
| Negation | The NEGATION of a statement has the opposite meaning of the original statement. (Not P) |
| Inverse | The INVERSE is obtained by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion of the conditional. (If not P, then not Q) |
| Contra positive | The CONTRA POSITIVE is obtained by negating and reversing both the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional. (If not Q, then not P) |
| Biconditional | A BICONDITIONAL is the combination of a conditional, P->Q, and its converse, Q->P. The resulting compound statement P<->Q is read as "P if and only if Q." |
