How to detect if the right arrow is pressed in an if statement?

I'm a new programmer trying to make a game in Unity and I want to make an if statement that senses when the right arrow key is pressed. This has been working for me so far with letter keys:

if (Input.GetKey("d")) {
   //Code would be here
}

I've looked, but I can't find anything that can replace the letter string so it senses the pressing of the right arrow button.

Just want to add a little bit more information:

You can get three type of events on key pressed.

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
    print("right Arrow key pressed");
}

if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
    print("right Arrow was released");
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
   print("right Arrow is held down");
}

Check out bellow code for a right arrow key pressed detection. Put this code in Update()

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
    Debug.Log("right Arrow key pressed");
}

If you want to use other arrows, then use KeyCode.LeftArrow, KeyCode.UpArrow, KeyCode.DownArrow

There is a list of Enum KeyCode. What you need is KeyCode.RightArrow.

You can see it in Unity Docs and also in the .NET API documentation
