Else is a term often used in programming and logic to refer to an alternative option or condition. It typically appears in conditional statements, allowing a program to execute different actions based on whether a specific condition is true or false. For example, in an if-else statement, if the condition is met, one block of code runs; if not, the code in the else block executes. In everyday language, "else" can indicate an additional choice or option. For instance, when someone asks, "Would you like coffee or tea, or something else?" they are inviting you to consider alternatives beyond the initial options presented.
