The if-else
statement is a control structure that executes different program parts depending on a condition. If the condition is met, the program part from the if-branch is executed, if the condition is not met, the else part is executed.
if (condition)
// if condition is true, this block of code will be executed
if (condition) {
// if condition is true, this block of code will be executed
} else {
// if condition is false, this block of code will be executed
}
if (condition) {
// if condition is true, this block of code will be executed
} else if (condition2) {
// if condition2 is true, this block of code will be executed
} else {
// neither condition nor condition2 is true
}
