3.4 Else If Statements

Else If Statements: Used when you have multiple conditions that need to be checked sequentially.

Flow of Execution: Each condition is evaluated in the order written. The first true condition’s code runs, and the rest are skipped.

Structure:

  • Start with a single if statement.
  • Follow with as many else if statements as needed.
  • Optionally end with one else to handle any remaining cases. Key Concept: The order of conditions matters. More specific conditions should come before broader ones to ensure accurate results.

  1. If I was 19 what would it print out?
  2. If I was 14 what would it print out?
  3. Create your if statement with one else if condition.

If I was 19, the probram would print “You are old enough for a license to drive”

If I was 14 it would print “You are 14.”
