if, a condition, a colon
In an `if` statement, the three necessary parts are the `if` keyword to indicate the beginning of the conditional statement, a condition that evaluates to either true or false, and a colon (in programming languages like Python) to signify the end of the `if` statement header and the beginning of the block of code that will execute if the condition is true. A print statement is just one of many possible actions that might be taken when the condition is true, and it is not necessary for the structure of the `if` statement itself. Also, different programming languages may use different syntax for the end of the `if` statement header (some use brackets, braces, or other punctuation instead of a colon).
