+<h3 class="section">4.1 Conditional Uses</h3>
+
+<p>There are three general reasons to use a conditional.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> A program may need to use different code depending on the machine or
+operating system it is to run on. In some cases the code for one
+operating system may be erroneous on another operating system; for
+example, it might refer to data types or constants that do not exist on
+the other system. When this happens, it is not enough to avoid
+executing the invalid code. Its mere presence will cause the compiler
+to reject the program. With a preprocessing conditional, the offending
+code can be effectively excised from the program when it is not valid.
+
+</li><li> You may want to be able to compile the same source file into two
+different programs. One version might make frequent time-consuming
+consistency checks on its intermediate data, or print the values of
+those data for debugging, and the other not.
+
+</li><li> A conditional whose condition is always false is one way to exclude code
+from the program but keep it as a sort of comment for future reference.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>Simple programs that do not need system-specific logic or complex
+debugging hooks generally will not need to use preprocessing
+conditionals.
+</p>
