If-Else Statements

So, we've tackled if statements, but what happens when the condition is false? That's where the else statement jumps in! Think of it as the backup plan. If the if condition isn't met, the else block executes. Together, they form an if-else statement, a two-way street for your code.

  // code that runs if the condition is true
} else {
  // code that runs if the condition is false
}
// some code that runs after
