Else Statement

Question

This is what I entered when I started trying myself,
chain = 20
if chain == 10:
print ("Equals 10")
else:
if chain ==10*2:
print ("Equals 10*2")
else:
if chain == 4*5:
print ("Equals 4*5")

The output for this was "Equals 10*2) even though 4*5 is also = 20. Can someone explain why I can't seem to have two different outputs.

Answer 1

In conditional statement if one condition is come as true other condition is not even checked and execute so result halts when it faces first truth condition so the output is "Equals 10*2"

Answer 2

if the if condition turns true,
then the else if and else condition
is ignored.

here is an example

x = 5

if x == 5:
print("if statement")
else if x == 5:
print("else if statement")

>>>
if statement

you can do this instead if you want to print both

x = 20

if x == 10*2:
print("equals 10*2")
if x == 4*5:
print("equals 4*5")

>>>
equals 10*2
equals 4*5
