Implication

Pronunciation: /ˌɪm.plɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/ Explain

An implication is an "If then" statement:

If antecedent then consequent.

If P implies Q, then if P is true, Q must be true, and if P is false, Q must be false. An implication is written P → Q. In this example P is the antecedent and Q is the consequent.

Example:
