# Else There is also an `else` clause that will be applied when the first condition isn鈥檛 true. This is very powerful if you want to react to any value, but single out one in particular for special treatment: ~~~ var umbrellaMandatory; if(country === 'England'){ umbrellaMandatory = true; } else { umbrellaMandatory = false; } ~~~ The `else` clause can be joined with another `if`. Lets remake the example from the previous article: ~~~ if(country === 'England') { ... } else if(country === 'France') { ... } else if(country === 'Germany') { ... } ~~~ Exercise Fill up the value of `name` to validate the `else` condition. ~~~ var name = if (name === "John") { } else if (name === "Aaron") { // Valid this condition } ~~~
