                 after the if block.

                 The syntax of the if statement is:                            Start

                 Let us take an example:

                  The if...else Statement

                 It is to be noted that in the previous example, if the age was less than 18, there was no

                 statement for the interpreter to execute. An if…else statement provides a set of two
                 paths, one if the condition is True and the other if the condition is False.
