Dangling Else Compiler Threat

I'll sometimes leave a dangling else just as a threat to the compiler that it better run that if statement or else. if (condition) { // ... } else;

A programmer describes deliberately writing a dangling else and threatening the compiler to execute the if statement. The joke relies on programming-language syntax and the ambiguity of an else statement, making it a reaction for absurd compiler or coding frustration.
