I hope its low frequency use declines further into evaporation. The world is full of junior programmers that will "un-indent" the "else" to "fix" the bug they found.Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:14:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/427760/when-to-use-if-else-if-else-over-switch-statements-and-vice-versaWhy you would want to use a switch block over a series of if statements? switch statements seem to do the same thing but take longer to type.Fri, 03 Apr 2026 21:22:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/680656/what-is-the-difference-between-if-else-and-switch3 Differences Between if-else and switch Expression inside if statement decide whether to execute the statements inside if block or under else block.

It does require at least one preceding except clause (see the grammar).Thu, 02 Apr 2026 20:19:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/3393921/is-it-necessary-to-write-else-part-in-every-if-condition"One option is to code the else clause—with a null statement if necessary—to show that the else case has been considered.
