Picture of the output

Notes:

The "if" statement causes the code contained in it to only trigger when a certain condition is fulfilled. The curly braces control which code is controlled by the condition (in this case, printing the messages). Setting the number of people equal to the number of cats would cause neither condition to be fulfilled, and therefore, neither message would be printed.
