Conditional word in coding (4)

I believe the answer is:

else

(Other definitions for else that I've seen before include "Otherwise; different from" , "Besides, otherwise" , "Adverb meaning if not, otherwise" , "In addition; different" , "In addition, besides" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
