#Additional algorithm 20. Demonstrates the implementation of conditional statements. Three variables a, b and c are declared and assigned to different values. A condition triggers a statement to increment the value of variable c, only if the value of variable a is less than the value of variable b, otherwise a decrement is applied to the value of c. Note that the source code is in context and works with copy/paste.

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3

if a < b: c += 1 
else: c -= 1

print ("c=" + str(c))
