The else Statement for When if Condition is False

The else statement is used with the if statement in conditional logic to define a code block that executes when the if condition is false.

Copy
if condition1:
    # Code to execute if condition1 is true
else:
    # Code to execute if all conditions are false

The else statement follows an if statement and does not include a condition.

Always add a colon : at the end of the else code line to signify the block of code that the else statement applies to.

Copy
number = 3

# Check if number is divisible by 2
if number % 2 == 0:
    # Executes if number is divisible by 2
    print("It is even.")
else:
    # Executes if number is not divisible by 2
    print("It is odd.")
