The term golfing applies to condensing a boolean statement into one line. Golfing is typically used when you only need to execute one line of code for a boolean statement.

 
print "You are not 18 or older!\n" unless ($age >= 18);
 

• Is essentially the same as:

 
print "You are not 18 or older!\n" if ($age < 18);
 

• Is essentially the same as this un-golfed statement:

 
unless ($age >= 18) {
    print "You are not 18 or older!\n";
}
