ELSE addr1 n1 — addr2 n2 (compiling) P,C2,L0 Occurs within a colon-definition in the form: IF … ELSE … ENDIF At run-time, ELSE executes after the true part following IF. ELSE forces execution to skip over the following false part and resumes execution after the ENDIF. It has no stack effect. At compile-time ELSE emplaces BRANCH reserving a branch offset, leaves the address addr2 and n2 for error testing. ELSE also resolves the pending forward branch from IF by calculating the offset from addr1 to HERE and storing at addr1
