Can anyone explain what is the meaning of "When an elsif block executes the entire if expression is exited."

the if condition can contain as many elseif according to the different conditions possibility , and they all represent as one block ,if the condition matches any elseif statement it will exits the whole if block

Imagine a program determines your grades from your score. score = 75 if score > 80 puts 'A' elsif score >= 70 puts 'B' elsif score >= 50 puts 'C' elsif score >= 40 puts 'D' else puts 'F' end Now, If we run the program we get 'B' as answer. How so? our Score was 75, so it also matches the conditions score >= 50 score >= 40 so, shouldn't we get 'B', 'C', 'D' as answers? It seems, the code only checked the first 'elsif score >= 70' condition only, and skip all the elsif and else conditions. That's because, it did just that. If any of the conditions are met, the if-else block stops entirely. It will not check rest of the conditions. You can tinker the example here https://code.sololearn.com/cDgvP3223993
