What is the purpose of the else statement in a basic conditional statement in JavaScript?
To define an alternative code block to be executed if the condition in the if statement is true.
To define an alternative code block to be executed if the condition in the if statement is false.
To specify multiple conditions in a single conditional statement.
To break out of the conditional statement and continue with the rest of the code.
The else statement is used in conjunction with the if statement to define an alternative code block to be executed if the condition in the if statement is false. This allows us to specify different actions to be taken based on whether the condition is true or false. If the condition is true, the code block inside the if statement is executed. If the condition is false, the code block inside the else statement is executed.
