  59. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>#else</samp>&rsquo; directive can be added to a conditional to provide
  60. alternative text to be used if the condition fails. This is what it
  61. looks like:
  62. </p>
  63. <div class="example">
  64. <pre class="example">#if <var>expression</var>
  65. <var>text-if-true</var>
  66. #else /* Not <var>expression</var> */
  67. <var>text-if-false</var>
  68. #endif /* Not <var>expression</var> */
  69. </pre></div>
  70. <p>If <var>expression</var> is nonzero, the <var>text-if-true</var> is included and
  71. the <var>text-if-false</var> is skipped. If <var>expression</var> is zero, the
  72. opposite happens.
  73. </p>
  74. <p>You can use &lsquo;<samp>#else</samp>&rsquo; with &lsquo;<samp>#ifdef</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>#ifndef</samp>&rsquo;, too.
