An 'if' statement is a form of conditional branching that executes code when a specific condition is true. This code can be a single line or a block of multiple lines (often enclosed in curly braces or defined by indentation). Therefore, it is not limited to only a single line or statement. It can execute any valid code, not just function calls, and it does not cause the program to restart.
