"As long as" with 只要⋯⋯就 (zhǐyào... jiù) structure

只要⋯⋯就 (zhǐyào... jiù) means "as long as... then...." In other words, whenever A happens, B results. Use this structure to express that "as long as" [something happens], "then" [something else will happen]. In logic, this is referred to as a "sufficient condition," meaning that it may not be the only way to bring about the these specific consequences, but it is one way. The structure is 只要 + condition + 就 + result. For example, 
  • 只要下雨,她的心情就不好。As long as it's raining, she will be in a bad mood.
  • 只要有他们在,我就放心了。As long as they are here, I won't be worried.
