Condition may refer to any of the following:
With computer programming, a condition is the state of something in the program that’s true or false. For example, when looking at the condition of a computer variable, you can use a conditional statement to evaluate the condition of the variable. See conditional statement for more information and coding examples.
In general, condition is the state (good or bad) of something or someone. For example, when buying a used laptop computer labeled as being in fair condition, it likely has scratches, dirt, and other marks from being used.
