3.4 else if Statements

Enduring Understanding

Programmers incorporate iteration and selection into code as a way of providing instructions for the computer to process each of the many possible input values.

Learning Objective

Represent branching logical processes by using conditional statements.

Essential Knowledge

A multi-way selection is written when there are a series of conditions with different statements for each condition. Multi-way selection is performed using if-else-if statements such that exactly one section of code is executed based on the first condition that evaluates to true.
