Else If Statements

Definition

Else if statements are used in programming to allow for multiple conditions to be checked. They provide an alternative set of instructions to execute if the initial condition is not met, and can be chained together to test multiple conditions.

Nested If Statements: Nested if statements are if statements that are placed inside other if or else if statements. They allow for more complex decision-making by checking additional conditions within existing conditions.

Boolean Expressions:

Boolean expressions represent logical values (true or false) and are used in conditional statements like else if. They involve comparison operators such as equals (==), greater than (>), or less than (<).

Control Flow: Control flow refers to the order in which instructions are executed in a program. Else if statements help control the flow by providing alternative paths based on specific conditions.
