Programming 2 /* If Statements */

An "If" statement in Visual Basic is a comparison statement that evaluates to true or false. If the statement evaluates to true, then the inner statements within the "If" block are executed. If the statement evaluates to false, then the compiler skips over the comparison statement and executes the following lines of code. "If" statements are common in all programming languages, and they are an essential part of creating web and desktop applications.
