What will happen when a condition in an if statement evaluates to false?

When a condition in an if statement evaluates to false, the code block associated with that if statement does not execute. This is fundamental to how conditional statements work in programming. The purpose of an if statement is to make decisions based on certain conditions: if the condition is true, the code block is executed; if the condition is false, the program simply skips over that block and continues executing the next lines of code that follow.

This allows for control flow in programming, enabling the writer to dictate what actions should occur under various conditions without terminating the program or skipping to another function. The program remains in its current scope, checking conditions and executing subsequent statements as written, until it encounters another control structure or reaches the end of the function or program.
