else -- C Keyword

Introduce a conditional statement

else is the flip side of an if statement: if the condition described in the
if statement  fails, then the  statements introduced by  the else statement
are executed.  For example,

    if (getchar() == EOF)
        exit(0);
    else
        dosomething();

exits if the user types EOF,  but does something if the user types anything
else.
