Answer:
A conditional statement is something like:
If (a condition is true) Then (something is also true.).
What this says is that ALWAYS that the condition is met, then "something" is also true.
For example:
If A > 3, then A > 2.
This is always true, because if A is larger than 3, then A is always also larger than 2.
Now, if we find a single counter-example, then the "always" is false.
This would mean that the condition is not enough, as we found a case that meets the condition, but the second part of the conditional statement is not true.
For example, if i told you that:
If a number is greater than 234, then the number is also greater than 235.
Now, there are a lot of numbers that are larger than 234 and also are larger than 235.
But here we have a counter-example.
235 is larger than 234, so the initial condition is true, but 235 is not larger than 235.
Then we find a number that makes the statement:
"If a number is greater than 234, then the number is also greater than 235."
false.
