# If

### @parent blocks/language
 

Conditionally run code depending on whether a [Boolean](/blocks/logic/boolean) condition is true or false.

```blocks
if(true) {
}
```

Click on the dark blue gear icon (see above) to add an *else* or *if* to the current block.

### Example: adjusting screen brightness

If the [light level](/reference/input/light-level) is `< 100`, this code sets the brightness to `255` when the button A is pressed:

```blocks
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    if(input.lightLevel()<100){
        led.setBrightness(255);
    }
})
```
