# Else

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Generic Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to execute the alternative condition steps when the specified If condition evaluates to false. The **Else** part is executed, and the result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**:

* The **Else** action depends on an **If** action and does not operate independently.
* The **Else** action requires a corresponding **EndIf** action to properly close the conditional block. If the **EndIf** action is missing, the client displays a dangling error and the Test case fails.
  {% endhint %}

## Syntax

**Input Value**: `N/A` 

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable> (Optional)`

| Argument                                                     | Description                                                       |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);\<Dynamic Variable> (Optional) | Both dynamic variable stores the status as **True** or **Fales**. |

### **Example: Executing Alternative Steps When the If Condition Fails**

In this example, we explain how the Else action runs when the condition defined in the previous If action is false.

* **Action**: Else
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * This action does not require any input value. It defines an alternate set of actions that execute only when the If condition fails.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The execution status of this action is stored in the **{Status}** dynamic variable, with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the Else part executes successfully.
    * **False**: If the Else part does not execute because the If condition is fulfilled.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Else** action triggers only when the condition defined in the corresponding **If** action evaluates to false (for example, when the person is not eligible for a loan). When this condition is false, the execution flow enters the Else part and performs the steps defined within it. In this example, the **Display Variable Value** action displays the value of the **{Not Eligible}** variable (Not Eligible for Loan). The execution then continues until the **EndIf** action is reached. Finally, the execution status (True) is stored in the **{Status}** variable.
