ELSE
FUNCTION: Else function for use with IF conditional statement
DESCRIPTION:
The ELSE command is an optional part of an IF conditional statement. The ELSE command must
occur after an IF command and it has no arguments. It allows for the execution of a command
only when the argument of the IF command evaluates False. If the argument of the IF
command evaluates false, the controller will skip commands until the ELSE command. If the
argument for the IF command evaluates true, the controller will execute the commands
between the IF and ELSE command.
