Question

Help in clarifying the difference between "Else" and "EIif" would be welcome!

Answer 1

Well if elif is else if then this is how it works.

If(something)
{
//do something
}

else if(smething)
{
//if the first if is false, then check the next.
}
else
{
//everything else that doesn't fall into the if or else if.
}

If you do something like

if(something)

if(something)

else

then you will check both if statements then do the else.

KonradZuse: thanks for both your response and the promptness of the reply. I 'think" I follow so I'll try some examples and see whether the result is what I wanted.

Answer 3

KonradZuse: I got it! Many thanks!

Answer 4

Yup no problem.... What language are you using?

Answer 5

Else and Else If are both different. Else if the end if the If is not fulfilled. Else If is a sub-type of Else if If and Else are not fulfilled.
