i still dont really understand elif that well?

Question

can someone please explain it differently than the lesson does? lol sorry if i seem stupid but i just dont understand it that well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Answer 1

elif, also known as else if, simply adds am additional condition to your if statement.
ex.
if (1>3)
do this
elif (1>2)
do that
else
do something else

Hope that makes sense

Answer 2

It's like

if [test1]: # If this test is true, then do this thing:
[this thing]
elif [test2]: # however if that wasn't true but this test is true, then do this other thing:
[this other thing]
else: # otherwise if they both weren't true, then do this instead:
[this instead]

e.g.

age = int(input("What's your age?"))
if age > 68:
print("You are older than me.")
elif age < 68:
print("You are younger than me.")
else:
print("We are the same age!")

Answer 3

elif is used to check more than two case.
