Ah your still alive my inspiring unkown helper.
My computer crashed halfway through my time to finish so had to start again from scratch. Still cant get my head around the conditionals in terms of what is first second etc. I get it with some but others elude me. Havent found any data to make the penny drop with me?
Also don't know what they mean by the question "what is its usage" do they mean the usage of the conditional. COuld you give me an example of what they mean by what is its usage? please
The usage of the conditional is not usually taught in U.S. schools.

Good luck with your computer!
Hello! I'm sorry to hear about your computer crashing, but I'm glad you reached out for help again. I'm here to assist you with understanding conditionals.
In programming, conditionals allow us to make decisions based on certain conditions. They are also known as "if-then" statements. The basic structure of a conditional statement is as follows:
```
if condition:
# code to be executed if the condition is true
else:
# code to be executed if the condition is false
```
The `if` keyword is followed by a condition, which could be a comparison between two values using operators like `==` (equals), `>` (greater than), `<` (less than), etc. If the condition evaluates to true, the code inside the `if` block is executed. If it's false, the code inside the `else` block (if provided) is executed.
To fully understand conditionals, it's important to grasp the concept of Boolean logic. Boolean values can be either `True` or `False`. Conditionals rely on these Boolean values to make decisions.
Now, regarding the question about the "usage" of conditionals, it's possible that they are referring to the practical application or purpose of conditionals in programming. For example, conditionals are often used to control the flow of a program, allowing it to respond differently based on different circumstances.
Here's an example to illustrate the usage of a conditional statement:
```
x = 5
if x > 10:
print("x is greater than 10")
else:
print("x is not greater than 10")
```
In this example, the condition `x > 10` is evaluated. Since `x` is 5 (which is not greater than 10), the code inside the `else` block is executed, and the output will be "x is not greater than 10".
I hope this explanation helps you understand conditionals better. If you have any more specific questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
