Iff is an abbreviation for the phrase "if and only if."

In mathematical notation, "iff" is expressed as $\iff$ .

It is also known as a biconditional statement.

An iff statement $p\iff q$ means $p\implies q$ and $q\implies p$ at the same time.

In order to prove a statement of the form " $p$ iff $q$ ," it is necessary to prove two distinct implications:
