Go supports the usual comparison operators from mathematics:
A condition can be either true or false .
Conditional statements are used to perform different actions based on different conditions.

Go Conditions
A condition can be either true or false .
Go supports the usual comparison operators from mathematics:
- Less than <
- Less than or equal <=
- Greater than >
- Greater than or equal >=
- Equal to ==
- Not equal to !=
Additionally, Go supports the usual logical operators :
- Logical AND &&
- Logical OR ||
- Logical NOT !
You can use these operators or their combinations to create conditions for different decisions.

|---|---|
| x > y | |
| x != y | |
| (x > y) && (y > z) | |
| (x == y) | z |
Go has the following conditional statements
- Use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true
- Use else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false
- Use else if to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false
- Use switch to specify many alternative blocks of code to be executed
