C++ Else
The else Statement
Use the else statement to specify a block of code to be executed if the condition is false.
Syntax
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the
condition is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed
if the condition is false
}
Example
int time = 20;
if (time < 18) {
cout << "Good
day.";
} else {
cout << "Good
evening.";
}
// Outputs "Good evening."
Run example »
Example explained
In the example above, time (20) is greater than 18, so the condition is false.
Because of this, we move on to the else condition and print to the screen "Good
evening". If the time was less than 18, the program would print "Good day".
