Compound Conditional Statements
Definition
A combination of multiple conditional statements joined together using logical operators such as "and" or "or". It allows us to check multiple conditions at once.
Analogy
Imagine you are planning a trip with your friends. To decide whether you can go on the trip, you have several conditions - all your friends must be available AND you must have enough money OR your parents must give permission. Only if all these conditions are met can you go on the trip.
