public interface Conditional

Interface for conditional logic. Conditionals are analagous to each conditional in a SQL select 'where clause'. For example lname='souza'. Conditionals return true or false. The Conditional's isTrue(...) method is passed a row of a 2 dimensional array and the method returns true if the row should be kept.

Conditionals are similar to a where clause in a select statement. i.e. where col1=5. In this case the isTrue method would compare column1 to the value 5.
