Summary  
This chapter covers using the else clause in conditional statements to execute an alternate block when a condition is false, enabling cleaner code and controlling printing based on boolean checks.

General domain of usage  
access control

**Conditional Statements** have an optional `else` clause which can be used to specify a block of code to be executed in case the **boolean expression** evaluates to `false`. 

The syntax is as follows:
```js
if(boolean_expression)
{
  // Code to execute if boolean_expression is true
}
else 
{
  // Code to execute if boolean_expression is false
}
```

This way we don't need to write multiple **if-statements** to check for opposite conditions, making the code shorter and neater.


let age = 18;

if(age >= 18) {
  console.log("The user is old enough to drive.");
} else {
  console.log("The user is not old enough to drive");
}

In the code above, we simply used an `else` block instead of rewriting a separate if-statement.
