I'd suggest a tutorial or something on BOOLEAN or LOGICAL OPERATORS. For example: true and false = false true or false = true not true and not false = false not true or not false = true and so on... The IF statement will simply take the result of a logical operation, and the result will either be true or false. The magic with IF is in the logic that you write.
