[File:If-Then-Else-diagram.svg.png[|thumb|If Then Else diagram in [[UML]].]]In [[computer science]], '''conditional statements''', '''conditional expressions''' and '''conditional constructs''' are features of a [[programming language]], which perform different computations or actions depending on whether a programmer-specified boolean condition evaluates to true or false.

Apart from the case of branch predication, this is always achieved by selectively altering the control flow based on some condition.

== Description ==

In [[imperative programming languages]], the term "conditional statement" is usually used, whereas in functional programming, the terms "conditional expression" or "conditional construct" are preferred, because these terms all have distinct meanings.

Although [[dynamic dispatch]] is not usually classified as a conditional construct, it is another way to select between alternatives at [[runtime]].
