Else

When you want to do one thing when a condition evaluates to true and another when that same condition evaluates to false you can use else.

int age = 30; // 🙎‍♀️ if (age < 25) { System.out.println("You cannot rent a car!"); } else { System.out.println("You might be able to rent a car."); }

You write the word else immediately after the } at the end of an if statement, then some code inside of a new { and }.

if (CONDITION) { <CODE TO RUN> } else { <CODE TO RUN> }

When the condition evaluates to false, the code inside of else's { and } will run.

else cannot exist without a matching if, so this code does not work.

else { System.out.println("No if."); }
