A programmer is writing a script and needs to run a specific block of multiple code lines only if a certain condition is met. Which of the following programming constructs is best suited for this task?
An 'if' statement is a fundamental control flow structure used for conditional execution. It evaluates a condition and, if the condition is true, executes a subsequent statement or a block of statements. While 'for' loops also use conditions, their primary purpose is iteration. Variables are used to store data, and functions are used to encapsulate reusable code, but the 'if' statement is the specific tool for conditional branching.
