Help me to understand else if statements

Question

how does it work exactly?

Answer 1

if (this is true) {
Run code in here
}
else(if ^ is false) {
Run this code instead
}

example:
If 1==4:
print("If is true")
else:
print("If is not true")

output:
If is not true

Answer 2

It basically means that if this 'if' statement is false then move on to this 'else if' statement only if the conditions of that 'else if' statement is true.
