heres what i mean

[limber meteor]

U can remove if keyword and replace with elif in line no 8

[plucky forum]

Sorry to ask but what is elif? and whats its purpose

[limber meteor]

only when the if statement is false it jumps to elif condition

@plucky forum run this ```py
a=int(input("enter: "))
b=int(input("enter: "))
c=int(input("enter: "))

if a<b:
print(" a lesser")
elif b<c:
print("b lesser")
else:
print("ok")

and replace elif with if and see the difference

[plucky forum]

Oh okay i'll try it out Thanks

Each if/elif/else block is made ofpy if condition: 'Exactly one if.' elif some_other_condition: 'Zero or more elifs.' else: 'Zero or one else.'In that order. The first condition to be satisfied is the only clause to have its indented section run.

Once you deindent with something that isn't an elif or an else, you're terminating the current if/elif/else block.

So another if starts another if/elif/else.

u forgor print function

[lilac spoke]

I didn't.

[limber meteor]

but ur code is better

@lilac spoke ayo can we use even 3 elif in same block

[lilac spoke]

Yes.

[limber meteor]

tf cool

let me try

[lilac spoke]

!e py if 'some condition': ... ... elif 'some other condition': ...

[limber meteor]

yea it worked I never thought of this

[torpid mason]

:x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "/home/main.py", line 4
002 |     elif 'some other condition':
003 |     ^^^^
004 | SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[lilac spoke]

Note here how I deindent with something that isn't an elif.

or an else

[limber meteor]

cool

[lilac spoke]

At the second ... we're still syntactically valid.

But then we hit the elif.

Which at this point is an elif without an if.

[limber meteor]

it is like if else if?

[lilac spoke]

elif stands for else if.

i.e. If none of the above conditions are satisfied, but this condition is...

[limber meteor]

hmm

[lilac spoke]

Then else, if used, coming last, if none of the above conditions are satisfied, do this.

[limber meteor]

yes
