| The
        "if ... else" Statements
 
        
        
          
            |  | Let's look
              at situations when the word "otherwise" can be
              used in your decision making! |  
      
        
          | if (test
            condition)  {
 block of one;
 or more C++ statements;
 }
 else
 {
 block of one;
 or more C++ statements;
 }
 |  If the test condition is TRUE, the
    block of statements following the "if" executes.  If the test
    condition is FALSE, however, the block of statements following the
    "else" executes instead.     Example: 
      
      
        
          | //example of if ... else cout<<"Enter the name of your city."
 getline (cin, city);
 cout<<"Enter the population";
 cin>>population;
 if (population >= 534187)
 {
 cout<<"According to the census,
            " << city
 <<" is one of \n the 100 largest cities."
 }
 else
 {
 cout<<"According to the census,
            " << city
 <<"is not one of \n the 100 largest cities."
 }
