2.2.3 The if-elif-else Chain

The if-elif-else chain is used when multiple conditions must be checked in sequence.
It allows a program to select one path from several possible options.

---

How the Chain Works

• Conditions are evaluated from top to bottom
• The first condition that evaluates to True is executed
• Remaining conditions are skipped
• The optional else block handles all remaining cases

---

Best Practices

• Order conditions from most specific to most general
• Avoid overly complex chains
• Use clear and readable conditions

📌 Note:
Only one block in an if-elif-else chain can execute.
