Add

Code before:

int x = 10;
int y = 20;

// if with else
if (x<y) {
  std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
else {
  std::cout << "Also x is more (or equal) than " << y << '\n';
}

x = 20 * x;
if (x<y) {
  std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}

Code after:

int x = 10;
int y = 20;

// if with else
if (x<y) {
  std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
else {
  std::cout << "Also x is more (or equal) than " << y << '\n';
}

x = 20 * x;

if (x<y) {
  std::cout << "Also x is less than " << y << '\n';
}
