Final answer:

The code is a Python conditional statement that will output "you are an adult" since the variable age is equal to 18 which satisfies the condition age >= 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional statements (if, else, and elif) are fundamental programming constructs that allow you to control the flow of your program based on conditions that you specify.

They provide a way to make decisions in your program and execute different code based on those decisions.

The code provided is a simple Python conditional statement that checks the value of the variable age.

Given that age is set to 18, the condition age>=18 evaluates to true.

Therefore, the output of the provided code will be the message inside the if block:

"you are an adult"

As the condition for the else statement will not be met, the code inside it will not be executed, and thus the message "you are still a child" will not be displayed.
