We need to be able to test our variables to see whether they meet certain conditions and then execute a certain section of code depending upon whether it did or not.
In this section, as our code gets more in-depth, it helps to present it in a way that makes it more readable. Let's take a look at code indenting to make our discussion about decisions easier.
