<p><a name="index-g_t_0023else-90"></a>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#else</span></samp>&rsquo; directive can be added to a conditional to provide
alternative text to be used if the condition fails. This is what it
looks like:
<pre class="smallexample"> #if <var>expression</var>
<var>text-if-true</var>
#else /* Not <var>expression</var> */
<var>text-if-false</var>
#endif /* Not <var>expression</var> */
</pre>
<p class="noindent">If <var>expression</var> is nonzero, the <var>text-if-true</var> is included and
the <var>text-if-false</var> is skipped. If <var>expression</var> is zero, the
opposite happens.
<p>You can use &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#else</span></samp>&rsquo; with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#ifdef</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#ifndef</span></samp>&rsquo;, too.
