Ruby Exceptions — Why “else”?

Question

I\'m trying to understand exceptions in Ruby but I\'m a little confused. The tutorial I\'m using says that if an exception occurs that does not match any of the exceptions iden

The only reason I can see for the else block is if you want to execute something before the ensure block when the code in the begin block didn't raise any errors.

begin
  puts "Hello"
rescue
  puts "Error"
else
  puts "Success"
ensure
  puts "my old friend"
  puts "I've come to talk with you again."
end
