The usage of "otherwise"
Hi.
Please consider the following sentence.
Sentence 1
"Special characters enable you to add things to your strings that could not be added otherwise."
As far as I know, the meaning of otherwise is "or" as in the following sentence.
Sentence 2
"I gotta be hurry, otherwise I'll be late."
Unlike the Sentence 2, I have no clue what the otherwise means in Sentence 1. Could anyone help me out please?
Thanks.
