Description | Use the else keyword to perform an alternative action within an if control structure. If the condition on the first line of the if control structure is false, the statement or statement list after the else keyword is executed instead of the statements in the main portion of the if control structure. The else section is optional in an if control structure. Depending on the exact form of the if control structure being used, the else keyword may be on the same line as the rest of the if structure, on the same line as the statement to be executed, or on a line by itself. |
