What is a 'condition' in an if-else statement?

Define 'code block'.

Define 'syntax'.

The set of rules that defines the structure of a programming language.

What is the purpose of an 'else' statement?

To provide an alternative block of code to execute when the 'if' condition is false.

Why are curly braces {} important in if-else statements?

They define the code blocks for both the 'if' and 'else' parts, ensuring correct execution.
