Simple if-else question

[Sandy]

Hi all,
A simple and silly if-else question.
I saw some code that has the following structure. My question is why
else is used there though removing else
has the same result. More important, is it not syntactically wrong :-(

for i in xrange(8):
    if i < 4:
        print i
else:
    print i

Cheers,
