Summary  
This chapter explains how to use the else keyword to execute a block of code when a preceding if condition evaluates to false.

General domain of usage  
control flow

In this video, we'll explore the 'else' keyword in C#. The 'else' keyword is used to execute a block of code when the condition in an 'if' statement is not met. For example, consider the following code:

int x = 5;
int y = 7;

if(x > y) {
    Console.WriteLine("x is greater than y");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("x is equal or less than y");
}

Here, if 'x' is not greater than 'y', the code inside the 'else' block will run, displaying 'x is equal or less than y'. This allows you to handle situations where your initial condition is false, providing a clear alternative action in your program's logic.

There is an `else` keyword which can be used for executing a block of code if the condition is not met.

Here is an example where we output specific text **if the condition isn't met**:
