Else If Expression

In the last task, you might have noticed that we didn't consider the case when we print not valid age (for example, -1 or -6). Therefore, there should be a way to modify our code to predict such things.

If you want to add one more condition to check it, use else if statement:

So our modified code for the previous task will look as follows:

The code initially checks if the age is valid. If the first statement is true the program prints a message if not - goes to the second condition. If the second condition is true and the user is over (or equal to) 21 years old the code prints a message, otherwise, both conditions are false and the customer is less than 21 and can’t buy alcohol.

You can add as many conditions using else if statement as you want.

In which case should you use else if statement?
