Read the sections Boolean expressions, Logical operators, Conditional execution, Alternative execution, Chained conditionals, and Nested conditionals.  It will look intimidating at first but if you give it a chance you'll discover that it's quite straight-forward.  We'll learn how to handle runtime errors later on, but if you can't wait, read the Catching exceptions using try and except section as well.
